(MILLVILLE, NJ) -- The Levoy Theatre hosts the CUT International Short Film Festival September 19-20, 2025. The festival's motto is 'Short Films for Quick Minds'. Its aim is to become the premier festival in New Jersey for short form films.
Located in a colonial-era enclave established in the early part of the 18th century, the City of Millville hosts a proper main drag known as High Street. Featuring a beautifully restored theater, bars, restaurants, art galleries and barber shops, Millville harkens back to different time in the American experience.
CUT was founded to celebrate storytelling in the medium of motion pictures but limited to short stories. The short film, like the documentary, has become a great way for a larger group of people to tell their stories. Not reliant on huge budgets, or massive crews, a small group of talented creatives can craſt a tale of resonance and authenticity. Their goal is to celebrate those stories and give them a venue to shine.
The festival takes place Friday, September 19th from 7:00pm to 10:00pm and Saturday, September 20th from 11:00am to 8:00pm (with an intermission from 1:30pm - 2:00pm). Tickets are available for purchase online. The Levoy Theatre is located at 126-130 N. High Street in Millville, New Jersey.
The Levoy Theatre Preservation Society is a not-for-profit organization committed to reviving and continued operation of Millville’s century old Levoy Theatre as a performing, screen arts and educational center serving Southern New Jersey and surrounding areas. Their mission is to meet and exceed the needs of an active and vibrant arts community through state-of-the-art technology, historic interpretation, culturally diverse programming and performing arts education for all ages and abilities.
The mission of the Levoy is to serve as an economic, educational, cultural and entertainment catalyst for the people of Millville and greater South Jersey. The mission encourages people of all economic levels to celebrate the rich history of the building, attend a diverse mix of entertainment and educational programs and grow or enhance an appreciation of the performing arts, by creating opportunity for cultural enrichment. The mission includes maintenance of this world-class venue to enhance enjoyment of its use, contribute to the cultural and economic vitality of the community and the region, and honor the rich history of the Levoy brings to the City of Millville.
