Beaufort Film Society brings Shorts at High Noon to USCB Center for the Arts
The Beaufort Film Society is moving its Shorts at High Noon series to the University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts, with weekly free screenings running Oct. 7 through Nov. 18 in Beaufort, South Carolina. The final session will give members a chance to help choose a 2027 Beaufort International Film Festival selection.
Why it matters: - The free series gives Lowcountry audiences another chance to see short films from the 2026 Beaufort International Film Festival. - The move to the USCB Center for the Arts gives the program a new home in downtown Beaufort. - The Nov. 18 session adds a member voting component for the next Beaufort International Film Festival, giving Beaufort Film Society members a direct role in the selection process.
What happened: - The Beaufort Film Society will present Shorts at High Noon every Wednesday from Oct. 7 through Nov. 18, 2026. - Screenings begin at 12 p.m., with check-in starting at 11:30 a.m. - Programs run about one hour. - The series will be held at the University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts, 805 Carteret Street, Beaufort. - Admission is free. - Screenings from Oct. 7 through Nov. 11 are open to the public. - The Nov. 18 program is for Beaufort Film Society members only.
The details: - The lineup includes short films screened during BIFF 2026, including several category and individual award winners. - Films marked with a star are BIFF 2026 category or individual award winners. - Oct. 7 films: Hell In a Climate Haven, The Liars of Black Mountain and The Drive. - Oct. 14 films: Saverio, Sit With Me While I Die and Together Forever. - Oct. 21 films: The Crawfish Dance, Watching Walter, Goodbye Stranger and Wanna Be A Star. - Oct. 28 films: The Dumbletons, O & O and Snipped. - Nov. 4 films: Yer Smackin’, The Lights Above and Collision Theory. - Nov. 11 films: Lonely, Walter and The Artis Residence. - The Nov. 18 session will let BFS members view three BIFF 2027 submissions and vote to help determine an official selection for the 2027 festival. - Proof of current Beaufort Film Society membership will be required on Nov. 18. - The Beaufort Film Society says the series offers encore screenings of memorable BIFF films and introduces new audiences to independent filmmaking.
Between the lines: - The series functions as both a community screening program and a bridge between BIFF 2026 and BIFF 2027. - The member-only vote on Nov. 18 gives the Beaufort Film Society a built-in audience-engagement tool ahead of the next festival cycle. - The free format lowers the barrier to entry for lunch-hour attendees and may help grow interest in the festival year-round.
