Tradition dictates that lace is the traditional gift for a thirteenth anniversary, so we are gonna pass on any gifts you might want to bring (or wear) and ask you to bring your pint glass instead. Aurora’s most popular annual event returns with the 13th installment of juried short shorts submitted from around the globe.

Aurora Picture Show’s annual Extremely Shorts Festival features three-minute or shorter films and videos by artists, filmmakers, culture jammers, students, moms, security guards, and anyone with a camera and a vision. Juror Donald Harrison of Ann Arbor Film Festival will be in attendance to introduce his selection and announce the winners.

Enjoy karaoke and good food by moonlight on the final night of the festival. Picnic sponsored by Saint Arnold Brewing Company, Whole Foods Market, Ruggles Green, Cafe Brasil and Tony Mandola's Gulf Coast Kitchen.
