MANHATTAN SHORT FILM FESTIVAL - last chance to catch it at 7:30pm tonight


Cine hosts the Athens screenings of the MANHATTAN SHORT FILM FESTIVAL's global program that screens simultaneously in over 115 cities around the world. Out of 429 entries received from 42 countries around the world, selected 10 finalist films were selected each of which are 15 minutes and under in length. Countries represented this year include USA, UK, Mexico, Croatia, France, Ireland, Australia, Canada, Poland, Germany and Italy, in what festival organizers describe as a “cinematic Olympiad.” These films will not only entertain a global audience but will be judged by them as well. Filmgoers can vote for their favorite film each night as votes are tallied at each cinema and forwarded to the festival’s Manhattan headquarters where the global winner will be announced live. http://athenscine.com/showing/details.php?id=609
