A short-film festival rewards curiosity. Leave room for a filmmaker you haven’t heard of, a genre you rarely watch and a film you might usually skip.
October 13: choose your starting point
When Ripcord announces the lineup, make a short list. Group a few films for each evening instead of trying to watch everything at once.
October 19–22: watch on Ripcord
Set aside time across the four online festival dates. Keep notes about the films that stay with you, and follow Ripcord’s instructions for viewing and voting.
October 26: meet the finalists
The top ten are announced before the October 29 finale. Follow the festival calendar for the key dates and Ripcord for official announcements.
Keep in the loop.
