Manhattan Short Film Festival 2021

As one of four hundred cities across six continents, Baton Rouge will host screenings at the Manship Theatre of the ten finalists in the 2021 Manhattan Short Film Festival—a format that offers attendees the chance to view, then vote for, their favorite films. And with past finalists having gone on to receive Oscar nominations in the "short film" category, the festival has become known as a breeding ground for the next big thing in film. You be the judge. 7 pm Thursday. $9.50. (225) 344-0334 or manshiptheatre.org.
