Taos Shortz Film Fest

Join in this year's festival which will be held at the Harwood Museum of Art’s new Arthur Bell Auditorium, March 4th, 5th and 6th. There will be more venues and events TBA as our schedule develops. The kick-off festival program Friday night will be in conjunction with the Harwood's New Mexorado art opening.

We are programming our new Film Schedule with over fifty short films, panel discussions, Q&A with visiting filmmakers and networking parties.

TSFF is rapidly gaining placement with the highest rated short film fests in the United States. In addition to providing indie filmmakers with a venue and public exposure of their work, TSFF also provides an educational and cultural opportunity for the general public to see and discuss these films.

The Fest has grown gradually each year and brings a modest throng of directors, writers, producers, actors and related family members and friends to Taos where they rub elbows with film festival savvy local audiences. This year our schedule lineup and visiting filmmakers will continue to put Taos on the map, bringing world class cinema to our community, and beyond.
