Looking forward to ur spring 2021 festival that will be held May 11-13. It's free and virtual, with a filmmakers' talkback on May 13th at 7 p.m. As soon as it’s available, we’ll post a rsvp link here https://decaturshortdocs.com/.

How do we find our films?

Some are submitted through filmfreeway.com, where filmmakers have thousands of festivals to choose from… and I’m a little surprised when they find ours.

Some of the films we come across at other film festivals, and when we do, we contact the filmmakers and ask if they’d like to share their work with our audience. For the upcoming May festival, we have four submissions and three invitees, two of which have won multiple awards.

We really want to share films and viewpoints that we know our community will appreciate. And we want to encourage emerging filmmakers as much as support established professionals.

Thanks to Georgia Center for the Book, Georgia Humanities and HJacobsCreative for co-sponsoring.
