Asbury Shorts International is New York City’s longest running non-competitive touring exhibition of globally honored short films. An Asbury Short Film Concert features a highly entertaining mix of comedy, drama, documentary and animated shorts — previously honored at the world’s top film festivals.
Founded on Asbury Avenue in Westbury, Long Island, N.Y. Asbury Shorts International was first presented in 1981 at the Westbridge Playhouse, screening local area student films. In 1988, the show relocated to Manhattan and the producers have featured globally honored short films there ever since, often introduced by various celebrity Guest Hosts. Beginning in 1998, The Asbury Short Film Concert has ‘reeled’ into cinemas, performing arts centers, art museums & outdoor venues everywhere from Berlin to Los Angeles...with many stops in-between!
