Loveland Shorts Film Festival Returns Next Weekend with Two Days of Independent Films

If you’ve never been to the Loveland Shorts Film Festival, this is the year to check it out.

The annual festival returns Friday, July 31, and Saturday, August 1, bringing filmmakers and movie lovers to downtown Loveland for two days of independent films from around the country and beyond. The screenings feature everything from family-friendly stories and documentaries to comedies, dramas, animation, and late-night horror.

One of the things that makes the festival unique is the variety. You can stop in for a single screening or spend the day watching films you won’t find at your local theater.
