Join us at AFS Cinema for a night celebrating Austin’s best local short films — from comedy to horror to heartfelt storytelling — all crafted by incredible Texas filmmakers. We’ll kick off each genre block with our own fun, original “interludes” made by the festival creators themselves.
Grab a drink, snack on our charcuterie spread, and settle in for a night of creativity, community, and cinematic chaos (the good kind). Every guest gets:
We’ll also be honoring standout films with awards for Best Story, Acting, Editing, Screenplay, and Audience Choice (3 total Audience Choice awards this year!) — winners announced one week after the festival.
Come support Austin’s film scene, meet fellow creatives, and experience a night that reminds you why local art matters.
