Backyard Docs Film Festival Presents: Shorts Program
This year’s Backyard Docs Film Festival 2026 short docs film program will play six shorts, featuring stories from the cold hallways of New York City’s immigration court (Water Cooler), butterfly sanctuaries in Chicago (Sueños de una Monarca), a small town with a haunting secret past (Born Secret), a woman's more than sixty year quest for justice (Hilda O. vs. The State of New York), an explorative journey into memories and Queer identiy through childhood memories (Big Bass), and back home on the streets of Pittsburgh (Chad Chechak: Lantern Fly Hero). Please join us after the screening for a Q&A with all the visiting filmmakers!
Ahead of this screening, there will be several public and private workshops designed for filmmakers at Point Park University Center for Media Innovation, which will be announced soon.
