BUEI To Host Manhattan Short Film Festival
The Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute announced the return of the Manhattan Short Film Festival, featuring Oscar-nominated shorts on September 26 and October 2.
A spokesperson said, “The Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute [BUEI] is excited to announce the return of the annual Manhattan Short Film Festival, screening this year’s Oscar-Nominated Short Films in our Tradewinds Auditorium [Wheelchair Accessible].
“BUEI will be offering two showtimes with screenings on:
- Thursday, September 26th, 7pm-9:20pm; and
- Wednesday, October 2nd, 7pm-9:20pm
“The Manhattan Short Film Festival, now in its twenty-seventh year, is a worldwide film event unlike any other. A selection of the top ten finalists will be screened in over five-hundred venues across six continents during a one-week period. Best Film and Best Actor awards are determined by ballots cast by audiences in each participating venue with shortlisted films qualifying for the Oscars.
“This year’s finalists hail from eight countries with films from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Ukraine, Italy, France, Australia, Croatia, and Ireland as well as two films from the USA. Films are linked by a common theme: how we face adversity, whether it is imposed by others or arises from personal circumstances. The final ten short film selections feature narratives that are dramatic, sometimes humorous, occasionally magical and always inspirational!
“Tickets for are $15 for General Admission and $25 for our Big Screen Package.
