The Short Film Block Party is a one night affair of films that celebrate the creative voices of Detroit and Michigan. We just don't show films, we also throw a party afterwards to celebrate local filmmaking!
Our taste runs the gamut. We want to see short narratives and docs that have something to say about the here and now. We want our audience to be dazzled by the passion, creativity, and enthusiasm that comes out of this community.
We aim to select a diverse and engaging lineup of films from filmmakers from all around Michigan. We encourage people of all ages, genders, ethnicities, nationalities, creeds, orientations, and walks of life to submit!
The Short Film Block Party happens multiple times a year at Cinema Detroit. In addition to the films, we will have food, drinks, networking, and (weather permitting) food trucks!
The first Short Film Block Party was held on May 9, 2018. The next event will be held on July 22nd, 2020.
By giving local filmmakers a venue to display their films, the Short Film Block Party provides a unique opportunity to network and discover other fellow artists for their next creative endeavor.
At the Short Film Block Party, the audience rules. The audience chooses the winner, who will receive a gift bag of unique and exciting prizes.
