One of DC’s biggest film events has been happening under our noses! DC Shorts<\/a>, an annual showcase of short films, has been going on since last Thursday, but there’s still a few more days worth of films to catch.<\/p>\n

Over the course of a week and a half, DC Shorts screens over 100 shorts from local and international, including documentaries, music videos, and animation. The size and quality of the festival is a testament to the strength of the local film scene, and the concurrent screenplay competition shows that you don’t need to know lens focal length to be involved.<\/p>\n

Counting today, there are still three days of new films to watch, followed by a Best of Show revue over the weekend. See DC Shorts’s schedule<\/a> for a listing of what will screen where. All the new screenings are at E Street Cinema, so depending on when you show up, you could have your choice of local shorts, LGBT films, comedy, or a general competition showcase. You can still watch these shorts if you can’t make it out, too. For $30, you can watch nearly all the festival’s shorts online<\/a>. That’s a great alternative if you want to see quality short films without having to schlep to E Street.<\/p>\n

We hope you’ll attend! There’s a few big festivals every year in DC, and this is a favorite.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
