SHORT STACK FILM FESTIVAL​

2026 Call for Artists

​

Short Stack: Chicago’s Tiny Dance Film Festival is back FRIDAY OCTOBER 23, 2026 at FACETS

Have a dance or movement-based film you’d like to share? Applications are now open!

Short Stack: Chicago’s Tiny Dance Film Festival celebrates the intersection of experimental artmaking, concision, and movement-based storytelling.

Hosted by Chicago-based @projectbounddance, Short Stack Film Fest is open to submissions of original films with run times of 10 minutes or less. The FIFTH iteration of Short Stack will also feature the 8 original “Tiny Dance Films” created as part of The One Hour Project, an exercise that invites Chicago dance and video creators to create a micro, site-specific dance film.​​​​​​
