The 3rd year of the Rogers Short Film Festival returns to the beautiful and historic Victory Theater in Downtown Rogers, Friday – Sunday, March 3 – 5. Presented by StudioChunky and Arkansas Public Theatre, films juried into the festival include narrative, documentary, experimental, and animation films with awards based on age and skill-specific categories.

The Rogers Short Film Festival lets filmmakers compete against their peers in categories based on experience and budget. See the films by talented short film makers screened at the dazzling Victory Theater and explore the entertainment district in historic downtown Rogers. It's a groovy, non-stop weekend filled with screenings, networking, food, music, and entertainment!

Co-founders and co-directors, Barry Cobbs and Elizabeth McCurdy, describe this years line up as bigger and better with 58 films from seven countries as compared to 13 films in 2021 and 33 films in 2022. 

The Rogers Short Film Festival works hand in hand with the film community in Arkansas. The founders feel it is important to work with local businesses when programming the festival, and special events. Festival Director, Elizabeth McCurdy, has taken her experiences working at the Cannes International Film Festival and Sundance Film Festival, and added a Downtown Rogers twist to create the atmosphere and professionalism seen in the film festival. The numerous networking opportunities makes RSFF a hub for industry professionals throughout the year.

“This year is going to be bigger and better than anything you’ve seen from the Rogers Short Film Festival before" explained McCurdy. "From the quality of the films to the level of class and hospitality at our events, it’s not a weekend you want to miss.”

All-inclusive VIP passes are available for access to networking events, filmmaker workshops, entertainment, meals, parties and a VIP lounge. Day passes are available for access to screenings and awards ceremonies. Tickets are also available at the door during the festival.
