The Nantucket Shorts Festival was held at The Dreamland earlier this fall. The festival celebrates short-form movies of two- to ten-minutes in length that are either starring or inspired by Nantucket. Founded in 2013 by five local Nantucket artists, the Nantucket Shorts Festival allows both experienced and amateur filmmakers to be selected to present their art on the big screen at the Dreamland. A jury screens each submitted film and selects the top films to appear at the festival. This year's winner was Mark Kiefer for his film "Or, the Whale."
