Manchester Events: ORIGINS presents SCENE Northern Shorts Showcase
ORIGINS presents SCENE Northern Shorts Showcase is your chance to discover some of the most exciting emerging filmmaking talent from across the North of England. This curated selection of short films offers a brilliant evening of independent cinema, showcasing everything from experimental pieces to compelling narratives made right here on our doorstep. If you're into film, supporting local creatives, or just fancy a night out with a proper cultural edge, this is exactly what you're after.
COLONY sits in the heart of Spinningfields, one of Manchester's most vibrant cultural quarters. The venue's intimate setting makes it perfect for film screenings, creating that genuine connection between creators and audience that you won't get in a multiplex. You're surrounded by independent shops, bars, and galleries too, so there's plenty to do before or after the screening.
The event kicks off at 7pm on Monday 24 August, and it's 18+ only, so bring your ID. King Street is easily accessible by tram or bus, and there's parking nearby if you're driving in. Get there early to grab a drink and chat with fellow film enthusiasts—these Northern Shorts events always attract a proper engaged crowd, and you'll often get a chance to speak with the filmmakers themselves afterwards.
