Yesterday, Monday, the winner of the 2018 edition of the Manhattan Short Film Festival was announced in New York. From the votes received from cities across all continents, the short film Two strangers who meet five times, by the British Marcos Marcou, was declared the winner. In the best actor category, Felix Grenier was the winner for his work in the Canadian short film Fauve.
The festival, organized in the city by Salamanca Film Commission, welcomed around 400 spectators from October 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th, filling the eight sessions offered at the Museum of Commerce. Simultaneously, more than 100,000 people from 250 cities worldwide were doing the same in various cinemas, galleries, and cafes across 5 continents. Salamanca's audience coincided with the rest of the public in giving the maximum number of votes to Two strangers who meet five times with 57, followed by the short film by Hungarian Barnabás Töth: Chuchotage, and the third place in the voting was taken by the English film Baghead, by Alberto Corredor Marina. In the best actor category, there was also a consensus with the rest of the cities, with Felix Grenier receiving 106 votes.
The Manhattan Short Film Festival, thanks to Salamanca Film Commission, is held for the eighth time in the city. This year it has once again counted on the collaboration of the Museum of Commerce. In previous editions, it was held at the Juan Pablo II Auditorium of the Pontifical University, at the Fonseca Auditorium, and at the Casa de las Conchas.
Participating in the Manhattan Short represents a significant advancement in the professional careers of filmmakers, as several short films from past editions have been nominated for Oscars in the short film category, British BAFTAs, French Césars, or have contended for awards at major festivals like Sundance. The festival prize consists of screening the winning short film on one of Manhattan's streets in a showing to which various New York producers are invited.
