Review Past Short Film Showcase Lists, Submit Your Film Suggestions

Viewers of our Short Film Showcase series often ask for links to videos they especially enjoyed. Others may want to revisit whole Showcase sessions since each one was carefully curated by series founder Stephanie Brasher or series curators Starkey and Bob and Diane Matonti.

To that end, Stephanie has supplied a list of past Showcase video titles shown below. Out of the bezillions of videos currently on YouTube, you can usually find a specific video if you enter its exact name in YouTube “search.”

SFS Began April 1, 2019

The Short Film Showcase concept was an immediate success when it was first offered in the Video Lab on April 1, 2019, complete with free popcorn and thoughtful discussions after each video led by Dr. Tom Nash. It replaced the “Project Day” series of meetings, when members shared recent and in-progress video projects for critique and discussion. Soon SFS was made a quarterly event (skipping summer, per club policy).

The last Showcase to be held in the Video Lab before the COVID pandemic was SFS #4 on February 3, 2020.  As the Video Club adapted to life under COVID, the SFS series resumed via Zoom on June 1, 2020. The series, switched to monthly Zoom Showcases  on July 13, 2020. Quarterly, in-person meetings were resumed on Monday, September 13, 2021.

Suggest A Video for SFS

The curators invite interested attendees to submit the names and sources of favorite videos for SFS consideration. Videos must be under 20 minutes — and shorter is good. Send your suggestions to Stephanie Brasher at sjgardiner1@gmail.com or to SFS’ Co-Curators Bob and Diane Matonti, rmatonti@gmail.com .

Dr. Tom Nash, retired head of the Mass Communications Department at Biola University and the Video Club’s Vice President, traditionally leads discussions following each film during Short Film Showcase presentations.
