Festival Dates: September 19-20, 2025 Location: The Levoy Theatre, Millville, NJ

Prepare for a cinematic celebration as the CUT International Short Film Festival makes its highly anticipated debut in Millville! Touted as New Jersey’s next premier destination for short-form cinema, this festival is a must-attend for film enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates compelling storytelling.

Nestled within a charming colonial-era enclave established in the early 18th century, the City of Millville provides the perfect backdrop. Its historic High Street, boasting a beautifully restored Levoy Theatre, alongside inviting bars, restaurants, art galleries, and barber shops, evokes a nostalgic sense of a bygone American era.

CUT was founded on a simple yet powerful premise: to celebrate authentic storytelling through the unique medium of short films. Unlike large-scale productions, short films and documentaries empower a broader range of talented creatives to craft resonant and genuine narratives without the need for massive budgets or extensive crews. The festival’s mission is to shine a spotlight on these impactful stories and provide them with a prestigious venue to be seen.

Get ready for two days packed with cinematic gems!
