Simply Weird Film Fest
The Simply Weird Film Festival is back for the 2026 season! Weird is wonderful! - and we’re here to celebrate it. If your short film dares to be bold, bizarre, and brilliantly strange, we want to see it! From strange ideas to the downright bizarre, we’re here to celebrate the bold, the unique, and the wonderfully weird. If your film defies convention and thinks outside the box, we want to see it! SUBMISSION CRITERIA Horror-Comedy | Horror | Science Fiction | Animation | Documentary | Mockumentary | Experimental - if it’s weird, it’s welcome. Runtime: Keep it short and strange: 15 minutes or less. Perks: Filmmakers of selected films will receive 2 festival passes. AWARDS & PRIZES 🌭 The Golden Weird Wiener Award Forged in the neon fires of absurdity and blessed by the ghost of a 1950s hot dog vendor, this sacred sausage is bestowed upon the film that warps reality and bends audience brains into ecstatic spaghetti. The people will vote. The weird shall rise. And one filmmaker will take home the gloriously grotesque, possibly inter-dimensional Golden Weird Wiener. Worship it. Fear it. Win it. FESTIVAL DATE + VENUE Monday, October 26th (times and program to be announced). Red's Beer Garden 📍 1328 Boulevard SE, Atlanta, GA 30315 RULES & TERMS 1. The Simply Weird Film Festival welcomes.
