512 ATX Short Film Festival

The 512 ATX Short Film Festival is back — and it’s not just a screening, it’s a party.

Join us at AFS Cinema for a night celebrating Austin’s best local short films — from comedy to horror to heartfelt storytelling — all crafted by incredible Texas filmmakers. We’ll kick off each genre block with our own fun, original “interludes” made by the festival creators themselves.

Grab a drink, snack on our charcuterie spread, and settle in for a night of creativity, community, and cinematic chaos (the good kind). Every guest gets:

• 🎟 One drink ticket
• 🧀 Access to our charcuterie spread
• 🎁 Entry into the AFS Gift Card Raffle

We’ll also be honoring standout films with awards for Best Story, Acting, Editing, Screenplay, and Audience Choice (3 total Audience Choice awards this year!) — winners announced one week after the festival.

Come support Austin’s film scene, meet fellow creatives, and experience a night that reminds you why local art matters.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
