About the festival

Can you capture the essence of ATL in 5 minutes or less?

Creative Loafing and the Atlanta Film Festival partner again for the greatest short film contest in Atlanta. The theme for the 5th Annual Short Cuts Film Contest is ATL Imagined: The City Through Your Lens. What does that even mean? It means we're looking for your vision of ATL, whether it's a documentary on your neighbor, a music video of your favorite band, a cartoon of the mayor, we're looking for it.

The top 16 entries will screen on Monday, March 2, 2015 at the Plaza Theatre.

For our 5th Annual Short Cuts Film Contest, we're awarding $750 to the critics pick winner and $500 to the audience pick winner! Both winners will have their films screened at the Atlanta Film Festival in March, and both will receive memberships to the Atlanta Film Festival for one year.
