The DIFF Shorts Film Festival hits Dallas this weekend.
The festival will be featuring over 100 original films separated into 14 themed blocks: Animated Shorts, Sports Shorts, High School Shorts, Latino Shorts, Music Videos, Documentary Shorts, Narrative Shorts 1: Trapped, Narrative Shorts 2: Futurism, Narrative Shorts 3: Grief, Narrative Shorts 4: Mental Health, Narrative Shorts 5: Coming of Age; Narrative Shorts 6: Relationships; Late Night Shorts 1 and Late Night Shorts 2.
“Our goal with this inaugural festival is to champion the art of short films, and we have some gems in
our lineup of more than 100 shorts,” said James Faust, DIFF Artistic Director. “There’s a lot for lovers of shorts to get excited about, and we’re happy to add this festival to the Dallas film scene. As many wonder if we will continue going to theaters to see movies, we’re committed to giving meaning to the theater experience as it brings people together to explore art, in this case, short films, which often doesn’t have a public platform.”
Awards will be given for Best Short Film, Best Texas Film, Best Music Video, Best Student Film, Best Documentary Film and Best First-Time Filmmaker. Festival passes are available for $75.
