***NOW ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS TO OUR 17TH ANNUAL PROGRAM. Due to COVID, we had to push our festival back. All films selected from our previously call are still in the program***
The Gadabout Film Festival is an internationally-touring short film program with a unique style and energy. A Gadabout screening is an experience accessible to everyone, from film aficionados to film novices, with a selection of high-quality, well-paced films diverse in genre, medium, and content.
Since 2002, we have strived to curate the best possible short film program year after year. Working to create an evening that is inspiring and fun. Short films are often passion projects, and we are passionate about short films. We love the creativity, the imagination, and how much story can be told in a little amount of time.
The Gadabout has screened it's programs in more then 120 cities across 15 different countries.
The Gadabout is NOT a competition. We celebrate short film. We tour with an hour program, so our curation is very strict. We aim to put together the best possible hour of short films we can. So, in a way, being accepted is the award, and the prize is having your short screened in multiple cities around the world.
