🍲 Cinema Soup Film Festival – Stirring Stories Since 2016! 🎬Since 2016, the Cinema Soup Film Festival has been serving up bold, heartfelt, and unforgettable short films from storytellers across the globe. We believe the best cinema doesn’t have to follow a recipe — if it’s powerful, funny, haunting, or genre-bending, we want a taste.
On Saturday, March 28, 2026, Cinema Soup returns with a live screening event in the heart of Woodstock, Illinois (across the street from where Bill Murray stared in Groundhogs Day), hosted at the Needful Things Shop. This cozy, intimate venue provides the perfect atmosphere for real connections between filmmakers and audiences.
✨ What to Expect:
A curated selection of diverse short films (30 minutes or less) from all genres and experience levels
Live screenings with in-person audience engagement
Award recognition in multiple categories
Spotlights across social media, Breaking Fate Magazine, and the Cinema Soup Podcast
VIP access for filmmakers with Official Selections
Cinema Soup is more than a screening — it’s a celebration of independent creativity, a platform for under-the-radar voices, and a community where film lovers come together to share stories that stick with you long after the credits roll.
Get a taste. Stir the pot. Join the Soup.
