 Callicoon ArtWalk this Saturday, Oct. 11, will feature a showcase of short films at the Callicoon Theater, highlighting local and international creativity.

“I started this, I think at least six, seven years ago, and I’ve been doing it every year with Krissy Smith at the Callicoon Theater who was totally super supportive,” said organizer Elizabeth Ennis. “I try to keep it all short and really represent how insanely creative it is up here.”

The program mixes new works with rarely seen films, including an 1980s hand-drawn animation by Lisa Crafts. Audience feedback will be encouraged at the 12 p.m. showing.

Local filmmakers Ali Azios and Marcus Brooks will also be featured. “It’s a short film of our son telling a joke except for his joke is completely unintelligible. But it’s hilarious.” they said.

The day continues with the Too Short to Suck Film Festival at , featuring ultra-short films under two minutes from filmmakers of all ages. “Anyone can submit a film. It can be shot on your phone. Some children made films that were incredible,” Ennis said.
