Weird Short Films Festival

Get weird, scary, and hilariously dark.

The Weird Short Films Festival showcases the most original shorts on our @WeirdShortFilms YouTube channel, on our website Watch page, and at The Vino Theater in Brooklyn on April 18th.

Genres We Love: Horror, B-horror, psychological thrillers, dark comedies.

We are - outside the grasp of proper society.

Our genre-defying visuals and soundscapes create a mind-expanding experience for a modern, sophisticated audience.
