Celebrate our vibrant culture of local filmmaking with the center’s annual festival of Ohio-made short films. All entries are produced in the Buckeye State and span documentary, animation, dramatic narrative, and everything in-between. The festival includes jury- and audience-awarded cash prizes, which will be announced at a public, postscreening reception in our lower lobby that features snacks from Freedom a La Cart and a cash bar for you to enjoy.
