Elgin Short Film Festival at the Hemmens Cultural Center

September 20 @ 7:00 pm

Mark your calendars. This event grows in popularity every year. The short films are always highly impressive, and the atmosphere is perfect.

*The Red Carpet. The Pre-Show. The glitz and glam of the evening are always so exciting, and a night to remember.

Come and enjoy an evening of scintillating cinematic history. See the best of the best from various genres on the big screen. The top pre-screened films up to 20 minutes in length will be presented at the festival; winners will be selected by a panel of judges and you! In person audience members will be casting their votes for their favorite film at intermission. Following intermission, our Master of Ceremonies, Daryl Nitz, who has been entertaining audiences for years with his musical antics, celebrity impressions and his “supper club era” comedic talents, will present awards and prizes.
So, get your friends and family together and come down for this unique event.
