17th Annual Atlanta Shorts Fest
From the venue:
ATL Shorts Fest is back for its 17th year, bringing nearly 100 short films to 7 Stages in Little Five Points.
From May 14 to 16, the festival runs across three packed days of screenings from 5 PM to midnight on Thursday and Friday, and 1 PM to midnight on Saturday.
Each block is curated with a mix of comedy, drama, experimental, and everything in between. More than 60 filmmakers will be in attendance, making this one of the best chances to connect, network, and be part of the indie film community in Atlanta.
Stick around after the screenings. There are after parties each night where filmmakers and audiences hang out, talk shop, and actually meet in person.
If you care about short films or just want a great night out, this is it. Tickets and full schedule at
