The Grand Rapids Comic-Con Film Festival exists to support independent filmmakers, particularly those who have made short films for audiences who love science fiction, fantasy, action, comedy, animation, superheroes, and other nerd-oriented genres.             

Submissions are OPEN for the November 2026 Grindhouse Film Festival and Short Film Festival! We are accepting R-rated Grindhouse/horror films under 30 minutes and live action or animated films under 25 minutes.
