At Roy Street, players will deliberate and vote by cell phone to pick the winner.  The event is appropriate for ages 5 and up, and playing time is about 1 hour.

4 Fantastical Short Films is one of four versions of the Film Festival in a Box Game. Currently other boxes include: Comedies, Pottymouth Comedies, and Powered by Girls.
