Project Chicago presents... The 17th Annual Chicago REEL Shorts Film Fest

Join us for the 17th annual Chicago International REEL Shorts Film Festival

Spreading the Arts - Not the Virus!


Due to the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis, we have moved our 2020 festival online. The positive side is that more people will be able to enjoy the festival without the hassles of traffic, parking or travel! This year you can enjoy all of the festival selections from the comfort and safety of your own home... and on your own schedule!

This year, our fest continues to features the best short films from throughout the world. Comedies, action, drama, horror, demented, arts, a little of everything! So get tickets while you can!

Enjoy our unique selection of independent short films. Support independent filmmakers.
All access passes include all screenings. (*NOTE: Some films are limited to certain dates/times)

The CIRSF Online Film Festival is a whole new experience for both filmmakers and audiences!
It brings the full festival experience to audiences in the comfort of home, on laptops/tablets and mobile devices.

Watch films, vote for your favorite films, and be part of the action no matter where you are in the world.
