Coolidge Shorts

Coolidge Shorts is a year-round program in which two short films (six minutes and under) are selected each month to screen before feature films.

In 2009, the Coolidge Corner Theatre launched a new initiative to support established, emerging, and student filmmakers internationally. We accept submissions from organizations, schools, and festivals, as well as individual local and international filmmakers. All genres are considered, including live action, animation, and experimental. This is a unique opportunity for filmmakers to showcase their work before the Coolidge’s monthly audience base of 16,000 patrons in the Greater Boston area.

The May shorts are by Vancouver based filmmaker Lewis Bennett.

For information on the submission process and format requirements, please e-mail shorts@coolidge.org.
