MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival

Friday, September 28, 6:00 p.m. and/or October 6 at 6:00 p.m.

Join us on September 28 and/or October 6 when over 100,000 film lovers in over 250 cities across six continents gather in Cinemas, Museums, and Universities for one purpose – to view and vote on the Finalists’ Films in the 21st Annual MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival.

MANHATTAN SHORT is not a touring Festival rather it is an instantaneous celebration that occurs simultaneously across the globe, bringing great films to great venues and allowing the audiences to select their favorites.

Upon entry, festival attendees are handed a Voting Card and an Official Program and asked to vote for the ONE Film and Actor they feel should win. Votes are tallied by each host venue, then emailed to the NYC headquarters. For more information, visit www.manhattanshort.com.

Coffee and Coloring

Tuesday, September 4, 10:00 a.m. – Noon

Are you daunted by your coloring book? Paralyzed by color choices or complicated designs? Don’t know where to start? Coffee and Coloring is for you!

Join local artist and colorist Kerry FitzGerald the first Tuesday of each month for tips and inspiration during this free drop-in session. Learn how to see, break down, and create realistic color with advanced shading techniques using colored pencils provided, or bring your own. Coloring pages will be available, or bring in your own coloring book or project. Kerry will demonstrate techniques as she works on her projects.

She’ll talk about the differences in colored pencil and paper quality, as well as what to look for in buying a coloring book and tools. Rediscover the fun you had coloring as a child…then, discover a talent you never knew you had! No experience necessary.
