DC Shorts Film Festival

Tickets

decorative photo

All shows are $12 per screening (plus $1 convenience charge is purchased online). Buy tickets from any Showcase page, or by clicking on any show or seminar in the schedule below.

This year, we are expanding DC Shorts to TWO venues: Landmark’s E Street Cinema and the U.S. Navy Memorial’s Burke Theater. Tickets can only be used at the location indicated. Please review your purchases before you complete your purchase.

During the festival, tickets are also available at the box offices at both locations. The E Street box office sells tickets for all venues and events. If you wish to purchase tickets in person, credit cards and cash will be accepted for E Street Events; however, only cash sales are available for US Navy Memorial events. The US Navy Memorial box office sells tickets for Navy Memorial events only. Once again, all sales must be made by cash — no plastic allowed.

As in year’s past, we expect to sell out most shows — so purchasing your tickets early and online is recommended. All ticket and pass sales are final: there are no refunds or exchanges.

The All-Access VIP PASS

All-Access VIP Passes allows entry into every screening (all week long), the Opening Night and VIP parties, entry to the special seminars and screenplay competition, and access to the Filmmaker Lounge.
