The Woodstock Film Festival has released its lineup of short films. The festival features films of all genres, including animation and documentaries. The 26th edition of the Woodstock Film Festival this week announced its short film lineup, featuring 112 selections across narrative, documentary, and animation, and more.
Screenings will be held October 15–19, 2025, at venues in Woodstock, Rosendale, Kingston, and Saugerties. WFF is proud to be an Oscar®-qualifying festival in all three short film categories: Live Action, Animated, and Documentary. This prestigious status means that films selected and awarded at Woodstock are eligible for Academy Award® consideration.
“The shorts program has always been a vital part of the Woodstock Film Festival,” said Meira Blaustein, Woodstock Film Festival Co-Founder and Executive Director. “These films amplify voices and stories that speak directly to the world we’re living in today, while also reminding us of the incredible artistry and innovation possible in short form.”
“Our shorts blocks are programmed across genres and across common themes such as comedy in an uncertain world, displacement and community repossession, and the pain and joy of artists admitting their truths, “ said Amanda Naseem, Head Shorts Programmer. “Films are in conversation with one another, encouraging deeper meaning and interpretation for our audience. I’m looking forward to sharing a collective laugh and cry together!”
