Love Your Shorts Film Festival

About this happenin

Nothing screened at Love Your Shorts runs longer than 30 minutes. Each February, Sanford's 1923 Ritz Theater shows short films from around the world in themed blocks, and the audience votes on them. The blocks are sorted by genre, among them comedy, drama, animation, documentary, sci-fi and horror, international, Florida Flavor for films shot in the state, and E for Everyone, the family-friendly one. Filmmakers turn up for Q&A between screenings, and the top winners take home a Monroe, a metal sculpture named for nearby Lake Monroe. Tickets are sold by the block, with a weekend pass covering everything. Popular blocks sell out, so buy ahead. The box office sits in front of the theater and typically opens 30 minutes before a block. The Ritz has no lot of its own; plan on street parking and public lots around downtown Sanford, and arrive early. Most of the program is adult fare, so read the block descriptions before bringing children. Wheelchair seating is available.

More in February: 13 other Orlando events.
