Arkansas Shorts to Host Exceptional Lineup of Films

Low Key Arts is pleased to invite you to the 17th annual Arkansas Shorts: A Weekend of Short Films, taking place Friday-Sunday January 5-7, 2024 at the Malco Theatre, 817 Central Avenue, in Hot Springs. 

The festival will showcase a thoughtfully curated lineup of short films from Arkansas and beyond as well as workshops and after-parties throughout the weekend. With a record-breaking total of 85 films in the lineup, there is truly something for everyone!

Presented in 10 unique blocks of roughly 90 minutes each, the shorts are curated into sections 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 filmmakers to network and celebrate each other’s accomplishments.

Arkansas Shorts also acts as a showcase for the original short films made in Low Key’s own hands-on filmmaking program, Inception to Projection. In addition to presenting 26 new short films in the festival this year, many of the Inception students also had the opportunity to work on their first professional feature film shot right here in Hot Springs and there will be a special (sneak peek) of the film during the weekend. 

A partnership with Visit Hot Springs enabled Inception students to produce 8 micro short films celebrating the uniqueness of Hot Springs, all of which will be on screen at the festival.
