From November 17-20, the fun and exciting Pittsburgh Shorts and Script Competition film festival will showcase 11 blocks of short films including dramas, comedies, and “Chiller Theater” selections at the Harris Theater, with 6 additional film blocks available virtually. The 114 films come from 24 countries with 45% directed by women and 35% by and about people of color (films from past festivals later went on to win Academy Awards!). In addition, there will be Q&As with cast and crew, a chance to vote for your favorite films, and more. The festival also includes a script competition with live readings by incredible actors and a conference for local and international filmmakers with workshops, panel discussions, and networking events.
