McMinnville Short Film Festival

Welcome to the McMinnville Short Film Festival. Celebrate our 11th anniversary with us in February 2022! Set in the heart of Oregon wine country, the McMinnville Short Film Festival (MSFF) is a true filmmaker’s and film lover’s fest. The MSFF has been selected as a “Top 100 Best Reviewed Festival” by FilmFreeway multiple times, most recently in 2020! We foster a critical component to the arts community by connecting local filmmakers with their counterparts around the world, and by providing a venue for culturally diverse screenings, events, and gatherings. MSFF organizers - including the original founders - cater to filmmakers from the moment a film is submitted to the moment the festival wraps. Experience why Portland, Oregon, filmmaker Heather Older says, “There are many festivals but very few have the vibrancy, personal touches and enthusiasm that the McMinnville Short Film Festival have… It's the type of festival that builds networks for creative people and possibly future collaborations.” A festival for amateur and professional filmmakers alike, the MSFF welcomes short films of any genre and of no more than 20 minutes in length. In 2021 held an all-virtual festival that was streamed all over the world! 127 Films were screened over 10 Days to celebrate Year 10 of our Festival. As our virtual format was so successful in 2021, for MSFF 2022 we are exploring a hybrid in-person/virtual format to be as inclusive as possible. We look forward to celebrating independent filmmakers with you. Questions? Email films@mcminnvillefilmfest.org.
