The DC Film Alliance (DCFA) serves and strengthens the media arts in the greater Washington DC region by bringing together filmmakers and the public to participate in diverse film, video, television, and multimedia events.
DC Shorts Film Festival
“One of the most influential festivals” in the country, DC Shorts showcases the finest independent short films and videos from across town and around the globe. Now in its 7th year, DC Shorts has been named by MovieMaker Magazine as “one of the nation’s leading short film festivals.”
DC Shorts turns the spotlight on truly independent short films, created by new and established filmmakers in an era when the art of filmmaking is opening to all. We select films from every genre for our competition screenings — with a special focus on films created by metropolitan Washington, DC-based directors and writers.
The DC Shorts Screenwriting Competition is a different kind of screenwriting competition. A panel of judges consisting of filmmakers, screenwriters, and critics will review and provide condensed coverage (feedback) for scripts of 15 pages or less. A set of finalists (5–7) will be selected to be featured during ScriptDC — a weekend of screenwriting events and classes for DC regional writers and filmmakers.
