This Country is among the works being screened as part of the Manhattan Short Film Festival.
The Manhattan Short Film Festival is a novel “microfestival” that occurs at 500 venues around the globe simultaneously and screens shorts from 10 selected filmmakers.

This year's San Antonio iteration will run the weekends of Sept. 27-28 and Oct. 4-5 at art collective Urban-15’s headquarters just south of the Freetail Brewery.

The films are typically a mixed bag, but the thrill of seeing a bracing work and perhaps the next Jonathan Glazer or Lynn Ramsey in their developing stages is an unmatched thrill.

$20 per evening, 7-10 p.m. Sept. 27-28 and Oct. 4-5, 2500 S. Presa St., (210) 736-1500, [email protected], urban15.org.
