Raven Performing Arts presents Healdsburg International Short Film Festival

“Audience Favorites” showcase is the audience rated top short films from our September 2026 international short film festival.

Whether you’re catching up on winning films you missed during the festival weekend or experiencing our lineup for the very first time, join us for the ultimate “Best of the Fest–Audience Favorites” showcase! Selected directly by audience votes across all 8 screening blocks from our 5th annual festival, this curated one-day retrospective brings together 12 to-rated short films from 7 countries and includes two winning films unanimously selected by both the audience and our jury, which features cultural icon musician/actor Tom Waits, screenwriter Billy Ray (The Hunger Games), Ed Begley Jr., and other distinguished artists.

The films are split across two 90-minute programs (Block A and Block B). Intermissions offer plenty of time to enjoy a coffee, bite, or wine tasting in downtown Healdsburg.
