The Short. Sweet. Film Fest. strives to showcase the best local, national, and international films from up-and-coming filmmakers. What better way to watch independent cinema then in the stunning and brand-new Alex Theater at the Metropolitan at the 9 while enjoying a cool beer or cocktail with some gourmet food? Did we mention there will also be live music throughout the film festival? Friday, March 2 - Local Filmmaker's Night, doors open at 6:00pm and films will run from 7-10:00pm, followed by live music and a local filmmaker's networking/social event. Saturday, March 3 - Local Filmmaker's Matinee, doors open at 11:00am and films will run from 12noon-10:00pm, followed by live music and a filmmaker's networking/social event. From 12noon-5:30pm, we will show even more local films and then from 5:30-10:00pm we will show excellent films from the United States covering genres of drama, comedy, documentary, animation, horror, LGBTQ, and experimental. Sunday, March 4, doors open at 11:00am and films will run from 12noon-9:30pm. We will feature several International films on this day. All patrons can come-and-go throughout the festival as long as they keep their wristband on. Food and drinks will be available to purchase at the concession stand right outside the entrance to the Alex Theater. A full bar and restaurant is a few feet away from the entrance to the theater. Patrons can easily bring any additional food and beverage from the bar and restaurant inside the theater. Many of the seats are leather recliners with a fold-out table, but they are first come, first serve unless you purchase a VIP ticket. For more updates please check out our Facebook page: Short.
