for the 25th Annual Nevada City Film Festival, June 19-22, 2025

SHorts Programs

Curating and presenting extraordinary short films have always been at the heart of NCFF.

In keeping with our past shorts programs, we continue to defy genre and categorization, rather finding the threads that weave common stories of the human experience together to create spellbinding experiences for you the viewer to behold.
