Enjoy an evening of cinematic shorts as filmmakers from around the world showcase their talents (in 20 minutes or less). Winners will be selected by a panel of judges and you! In person audience members will cast their votes for their favorite film.

Daryl Nitz, entertaining audiences for years with his musical antics and celebrity impressions, will bring his “supper club era” comedic talents as Master of Ceremonies to present this year’s finalists.

The excitement starts with a Red Carpet Reception featuring filmmaker interviews and entertainment, followed by the film screening. We are again offering a streaming option so those that can’t make it to the festival can still join the fun.

Virtual or in-theatre tickets available - watch at home or come out and join us for the event that has entertained film lovers since 2009. 847-931-5900 or Hemmens.org.

MPAA-R rated films permitted. Those 17 and younger must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
