Red Light Roastery, SQZBX, and Low Key Arts present the 16th annual Arkansas Shorts – A Weekend of Short Film!, taking place Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, January 6-8, 2023 at the Malco Theatre, 817 Central Avenue, in downtown Hot Springs.
Presenting short films in 3 categories (Arkansas, North America, and international), Arkansas Shorts also features live panel discussions with filmmakers, don’t-miss after parties, and an exciting, fun-filled opportunity for the Arkansas film community at large to come together.
A weekend-long showcase of Arkansas filmmakers of all varieties, Arkansas Shorts has evolved over its sixteen-year existence into one of the region’s most celebrated events. The festival itself is a celebration of the ambitious, creative spirit found among filmmakers from around the state.
Presented in 9 blocks of roughly 90 minutes each, Arkansas Shorts showcases films painstakingly selected by a hand-picked screening committee of dedicated film lovers. Submitted from all around Arkansas, North America, and the world, the shorts are curated into groups intended to stimulate thought, laughter, and discussion.
The schedule for the weekend is punctuated with receptions, meet-ups, and after-parties, providing a fertile climate for Arkansas filmmakers to network and recognize each other’s accomplishments.
