Celebrating curiosity, creativity, and the importance of cinematic exploration, the Olympia Short Cuts Film Festival champions inclusivity and experimentation.

The Olympia Short Cuts Film Festival is hosted around the Olympia, Washington downtown area, mainly inside the Capitol Theater, a 1924 concert and movie palace owned and operated by the Olympia Film Society. This organization supports a small staff and board of directors along with over 125 dedicated volunteers who select films, organize events, and run the Capitol Theater.

Best Entries will be screened during the 1st Annual Olympia Short Cuts Film Festival at the Capitol Theater April 20 - 21, 2019.

Special audience award laurels will be given for documentary, narrative/experimental, and animated short films.

If your film is accepted, filmmaker(s) must be prepared to send a DCP of their short to the 1st Annual Olympia Short Cuts Film Festival for screening purposes.
