The most creative short films in the world, judged by the cinema-going public of America

. URBAN-15 will host the "2005 Manhattan Short Film Festival" on September 16th and 17th.

The Festival will screen in approximately 50 venues covering 28 US States throughout nine days

(September 16th - 24th) culminating with its grand finale in New York City's historic Union Square

Park on Sunday September 25th.

The most creative short films in the world will be screened in theaters for a nationwide audience,

who will not only watch the films but judge them as well. Every audience member will be given a

voting card upon entry and will be asked to vote for the filmmaker they feel should win the event.

The winner of the festival will receive services to assist them in creating a feature film that we hope

to distribute through our participating venues in 2006.
