The Ocean City Film Festival invites you to premiere night of the 9th Annual Ocean City Film Challenge. Be among the first to view original short films about Ocean City created by talented filmmakers and aspiring filmmakers.

Filmmakers were challenged to produce a short film between July 1–31, 2026, shot in Ocean City or about Ocean City. Winners will be revealed during Film Night and prizes will be awarded.

Watch the films, celebrate the awards, and meet the filmmakers. You may be meeting the next Steven Spielberg!

Please bring a chair. If it rains, films will move inside the Arts Center. This event is free, but donations are welcome and happily accepted.
