Love Your Shorts Film Festival

The Love Your Shorts Film Festival is an annual showcase in the heart of Sanford, Florida, where short films from all over Florida, the United States, and the world come to life!

Founded in 2010, this festival is all about embracing and appreciating the incredible art of the short film. From its humble beginnings at the Greater Sanford Regional Chamber of Commerce building known as Monroe Hall, the festival has soared to new heights and now finds its home at the iconic 1923 Ritz Theater, one of Florida’s few remaining historic theaters.

During this unforgettable event, film fanatics get to indulge in captivating films, each lasting up to 30 minutes. With a wide array of categories to explore and inspiring film workshops to attend, there’s never a dull moment at Love Your Shorts.

But it’s not just about the films. Sanford, the vibrant cultural and county seat of Seminole County Florida, paints a picture of artistic wonder. Nestled along the majestic St. Johns River, this enchanting city boasts a downtown cultural corridor, a plethora of art galleries, an annual art festival, lively community folk performances, and an array of active community theater troupes. It’s no wonder that Love Your Shorts Festival feels right at home here.
