Kino: Manhattan Short 2026 īsfilmu festivāla programma

From September 24 to October 4, Kuldīga film lovers will also have the opportunity to become part of a global event – the 29th International Short Film Festival MANHATTAN SHORT. During this time, more than 100,000 viewers in over 500 cities across six continents will gather in cinemas, museums, libraries, and universities to watch and vote for the best short films from around the world.

For the first time in its history, MANHATTAN SHORT has selected ten films from ten countries – the MANHATTAN SHORT 2026 program consists of works from the USA, Ireland, Australia, South Africa, the United Kingdom, Moldova, Cuba, Georgia, and Mexico (the Russian film is not included in the Latvian festival program). “Since the events of September 11, 2001, my vision for this festival has been to create a kind of film Olympics – an event consisting of ten quality short films from ten different countries uniting the world; and finally, in 2026, we have succeeded. I eagerly await the reaction of audiences worldwide,” says Nicholas Mason, founder and director of the MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival.
