Big Teeth Small Shorts Film Fest – Winter 2026 Program

Big Teeth Small Shorts Film Festival is back with a one-of-a-kind event showcasing more than 30 short films, each under five minutes long, from a mix of global talent and fresh new voices.

“Whether you normally go to fests or not, you’ll love this one,” said Gregg Jaffe, Festival Founder and Director. “The beauty of this format is that you will 100% see something different from anything you’ve seen before. You might be laughing hysterically one moment and deeply moved the next—it’s a whirlwind of originality that stays with you long after the credits roll.”

Since its inception in 2019, Big Teeth Small Shorts has championed the art of micro-filmmaking, giving these small but mighty stories a platform to shine. By keeping each film under five minutes, the festival delivers bold, unforgettable storytelling that highlights the power of brevity in artistry. Plus it’s an amazingly fun night out.

“At its core, this festival honors filmmakers who pour their artistry into these micro-masterpieces and the local audiences who embrace them,” said Keriann Kwalik, Co-Director and Producer. “Facets provides the perfect space for this connection to thrive—an intimate, authentic venue where film and community truly intersect.”
