For the 6th year, the Sun Valley Museum of Art presents the MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival. From September 28 through October 8, this unique festival brings together over 100,000 filmgoers in over 500 cities and towns across 6 continents. The Festival curates a wide variety of films from around the world, and the jury includes ALL film attendees from around the globe, including our Ketchum audience!
The Ten MANHATTAN SHORT Finalists hail from eight countries, with films from Australia, Afghanistan, Finland, Iran, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Canada, alongside three films from the USA. The 2023 line-up is linked by a common theme: how we face adversity, whether it is imposed by others or arises from personal circumstances. The ten films in the program feature narratives that are dramatic, sometimes humorous, occasionally magical, and always inspirational!
The MANHATTAN SHORT Final Ten are:
- Sunless (USA)
- Voice Activated (Australia)
- Yellow (Afghanistan)
- Tuulikki (Finland)
- The Family Circus (USA)
- Career Day (USA)
- Snail (Iran)
- The Record (Switzerland)
- The Stupid Boy (UK)
- Soliel Du Nuit (Canada)
Voting cards will be given to each attendee, and every year, the Wood River Valley audience’s top scorer has turned out to be the winner. These films always present a wide variety of views and moods, and we predict that this year will be no different.
This film screening takes place at the Magic Lantern Cinemas, Ketchum at 4pm.
