GNAT-TV and CAT-TV are excited to invite you to the 2026 Shires 1-Minute Film Fest Screening at Bennington Theater on October 17th! Filmmakers, friends, families, and community members will come together for a night of short films, local creativity, and celebration.

Filmmakers of all ages rose to the challenge and crafted original one-minute films, each either following a specific theme word or using a prop and dialogue challenge. The creativity in the submissions is astounding, and we can't wait to share these films with everyone.

Come view the films submitted by community members throughout Bennington County, and vote for YOUR favorite.

Doors open at 6pm, screening kicks off at 7pm. Awards and recognitions will be presented during the event.
