Arena Theater Short Film Festival

We are thrilled to reach this milestone in our classic 1928 venue. An earlier festival may have come long before us in our storied history, but be assured that our 2023 Festival will not be the last!

A diligent cast of local film lovers worked over months to bring you these treasures from our own North Coast neighborhood, across the country and around the world.
