Asbury Shorts USA, New York City’s longest running short film exhibition and touring showcase, will present their nationally recognized “42nd Short Film Concert” at the Phoenicia Playhouse for one night only on Thursday, September 21, 2023. The first film blasting on to the screen promptly at 7:30pm.
An exciting and eclectic screening of globally honored short films from the past and present, the Asbury Short Film Concert is recommended for ages 16 and way above.
Asbury Shorts USA combines award-winning films from past years with new festival circuit honorees, creating a rare opportunity for audiences to see world-class short films on a real cinema screen as opposed to YouTube, computers or smart phones. Academy Award nominated director Jason Reitman (Ghostbusters: Afterlife, JUNO, Up in the Air, Thank You for Smoking and Young Adult) calls Asbury Shorts: “The best short film show I’ve ever seen.” An Asbury Short Film Concert will mix Oscar nominees & winners with US domestic film festival “Best of Show” awardees and global honorees in one 2 hour sitting.
