Go Short 2026: Focus Mini 4+
Five really sweet short films selected by the Go Short Short Film Festival.
During the movie, the lights will stay on a little bit so it’s not too scary, and anyone who suddenly feels like walking around a bit is welcome to do so. Plus, during the nice long intermission, kids can do crafts and play in the lobby while enjoying a cup of lemonade!
Meet a tiny egg searching for a warm nest, a dragon who discovers that making friends isn’t always easy, and Boris, who’s trying to bake the most delicious rolls. Join a little pebble on an adventure as it discovers the world around it, and let yourself be surprised by a whimsical world where everything can turn upside down in an instant.
