The Friends of River Hook are hosting two evenings to view the 28th Annual Manhattan Short Film Festival entries. Join us and other film lovers for the screening of the ten 2025 finalist films, the best short films in the world today. You'll watch the short films and then discover your inner film critic by casting your vote for Best Film and Best Actor with a ballot we provide upon entry. 

This year's line-up of films explores a wide range of topics relevant to everyone. Have a look at both dramatic and comical takes on migration, reconciliation, housing prices, parenthood and the price of silence, not to mention the trials and tribulations of growing into adulthood, especially when fantastical and dangerous griffins fly overhead and you have an OMG murderous mother. And what is it about golf anyway? Audiences will find it more difficult than ever to vote for Best Film and Best Actor, which will be announced at ManhattanShort.com on Monday October 7th.

Both evenings will be identical programs and will start at 7:30 at the Old Stone Meeting House at 347 N. Broadway in Upper Nyack. Half of the proceeds from ticket sales will benefit River Hook projects. Reserve your seat now!

Tickets are sold in advance only, due to limited seating. Use the QR codes in the flyer or click the links below:
