Chicago International REEL Shorts Festival

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chicago International REEL Shorts Festival is an annual short film competition and screening put on by Project Chicago. The festival was founded by Scott Rudolph and Nels Dahlquist. Held annually, this three-day event plays host to more than 150 films (all under 35 minutes) from many countries through out the world.

In 2004 and 2005 the 3 Penny Cinema, in Chicago's Lincoln Park district, was the main venue. In 2006 REEL Shorts moved to the historic Davis Theatre in Lincoln Square. In 2007 Columbia College came on as a presenting sponsor and the festival is to be held at Columbia's Film Row Theatre.
