2010 Winners

CONGRATULATIONS! Sincere thanks to all the creative spirits who participated in the first Harvard Shorts Film Festival, and hearty congratulations to this year’s winners. The large number of smart and engaging shorts submitted for the Festival spoke eloquently of the wonderful talent found across the university, and beautifully illustrated as well the range of expressive forms that a three-minute short can assume.

In recognition of the exceptional strength of submissions in the final two categories, we are pleased to announce three additional special prizes—two in “Scholarly Serials,” and one in “Library Resources.”
