Riverside Short Film Festival
Emerging or unverified festival
The Riverside Short Film Festival is a short-film event in New Haven, Missouri, created to support and recognize short filmmaking and its artists. It is notable for showcasing non-genre-specific short films from varied global perspectives, typically with films limited to 30 minutes, and for serving as a community-focused platform that brings new voices to local audiences. It is a smaller regional festival rather than a major awards-circuit event, with significance centered on exposure, audience engagement, and celebrating the short form.
