A note from Festival Director; Chris Opper
“We so wanted to be back in person with you this year! However, with the current conditions, our little viewing space makes it extremely difficult to operate in a safe manor. We are still excited to bring you these films virtually. I love both options of the live event and the virtual, so I look forward to doing both moving forward into the future.”
Here's how it works:
Before the festival
Check out our Film Guide and buy your Virtual Pass (using the red tabs above) to watch the films we have collected for you this year. When you click Buy Passes, you will need to log in. If you attended last year, your information will have been saved. If you are new this year, you’ll need to enter your email address and enter a password. This will create your account that you will use to login and enjoy the films February 18th - 26th. You will receive an email confirming your purchase.
If there are any issues during the process email us at dcshortfilmfest@gmail.com and we will help you.
During the festival
All of our films for the Festival season are listed in our Film Guide. You can watch these films at any time between February 18th - 26th. The films are broken down into “Blocks”. Once you click on a block of films, you unlock that block of films and you'll have 2 days from when you start to watch to finish watching.
After you've watched the films you'll be asked to vote for this year's Audience Favorite, so just click the button on the ballot you'll see on the screen to record your vote. All Ballots must be in by midnight February 26th. We will announce the Audience Favorite Award on February 27th. (You will still be able to watch the films if your 2 day watch window runs past February 26th.)
You will see opportunities on this site to donate to DCSFF . If you can make a donation to help defray our expenses, we'd love it.
Please make sure you are signed into YOUR Eventive account with the email associated with your purchased tickets. Once you press "Play" on a block of films, you have 2 Days to finish watching before it expires and is no longer available.
We Love Our Sponsors!
