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 we will be festing in an all-virtual format, so you can stream from anywhere in the world! 127 Films over 10 Days to celebrate Year 10 of our Festival. Plus a LIVE opening night with the filmmakers on February 18th, and a LIVE awards presentation on February 28th to see which films are the 2021 award winners!
