Cleveland International Film Festival’s Get Shorty – 20th Anniversary

Tickets are on sale now for the 20th anniversary of CIFF’s Get Shorty, presented with generous support from Huntington.


Do you have what it takes to program a film festival? Then this event is for you! The Cleveland International Film Festival’s (CIFF) GET SHORTY is a one-of-a-kind event where you get to have a say in what screens at CIFF47!

Here’s how it works: we’ll meet at the stunning Mimi Ohio Theatre at Playhouse Square, where the gathering will begin with hors d’oeuvres and beverages before putting your programming skills to work. Once inside the theatre, we will present a handful of short films, and at the conclusion of each film you will be prompted to text your vote from your smartphone. At the end of the evening, the film with the highest score will be guaranteed a prime spot in the CIFF47 program lineup!

This event – which is celebrating its 20th anniversary – is always a sellout, so don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this extraordinary evening!
