PBS Innovation Showcase

Every Saturday night at 9, Reel 13 goes on the air on Thirteen, reaching a potential audience of millions throughout the New York metro region. The weekly lineup includes a classic feature, the winning short film chosen by visitors to this website, and an exciting new indie feature.

Reel 13 is a community of people who love film -- watching it, making it, talking about it, sharing it with others. Right here on the Reel 13 site, you can see trailers for upcoming films and share your thoughts and observations with film fans like yourself. In additon, Reel 13 Shorts is an interactive weekly on-line film competition that celebrates the best in independent short films. Short films can now be submitted to the address below for consideration to be viewed on-line. The public will then rate their favorite films on-line. The winning film will receive an award of $500 and be broadcast on REEL 13, Thirteen's new weekly Saturday night programming block of classic and independent cinema.
