Each year since 1981, a panel of film scholars has selected about forty-five short films submitted from around the world to showcase at the festival throughout the United States. The program consists of about a dozen award winning documentary, animation, and narrative films shown on a giant permanent screen with commentary by a Festival spokesperson.
