2020 ESFF CANCELATION PRESS RELEASE

2019 ESFF WINNERS PRESS RELEASE

The Elgin Short Film Festival has long been an entertaining evening of some of the very best in short films by some of the very best up-and-coming filmmakers. The event begins when filmmakers arrive for the Red Carpet Reception, with interviews and entertainment. The screening of six films, no more than 20 minutes in length, follows the reception. Winners are selected by a panel of celebrity judges, and audience members cast their vote for their favorite film. There’s also a People’s Choice award based solely on audience votes. Your vote does count! Awards and prizes are then presented to the top three films.

Join us for the 2021 Elgin Short Film Festival, set to take place on September 18, 2021. We look forward to seeing you next year. Please check back here for details.
