The Colony Short Film Festival will mark its 11th year of showcasing local and international short films in downtown Marietta, from March 2nd to March 4th at the historic Peoples Bank Theatre in Marietta.
This year's short film festival includes films from twelve states, including Ohio and West Virginia, as well as international submissions from Spain, France, Switzerland, Cyprus, Belgium and Canada. The films represent a variety of genres, from experimental films to hard-hitting documentaries.
Filmmakers in attendance are given the opportunity to speak about their work at the screening and experience the opportunity to connect with fellow artists.
One-day passes for the Colony Short Film Festival are ten dollars or twenty five dollars for all three days. Senior and student passes are eight dollars per day or eighteen dollars for the full festival. Limited VIP passes, which give access to the filmmakers lounge, are twenty five dollars per day or fifty for the whole weekend.
