10th Niagara Indie Filmfest call for submissions.

Show us your shorts!

Niagara’s national short film and video festival is now accepting entries for inclusion in the 10th festival to be held June 24th-25th in the David S. Howes Theatre at Brock University, St. Catharines.

Since its inception the Niagara Indie Filmfest has distributed over $33,000.00 to up and coming Canadian film and video makers. The majority of films shown at NIFF have been world premieres, providing much needed screen time to emerging artists.

Submissions will be accepted in five categories: Drama, Documentary, Comedy, Animation and Experimental. Entries must be no longer than 30 minutes (including credits) and have been produced between April 22, 2009 and April 22, 2011.

Both independent and student entries are welcome and will be adjudicated separately. Cash prizes will be awarded at the festival in June.

Exciting plans are in the works for the 2011 festival and include a retrospective, great workshops, and the introduction of a new award for “Best Local Film”

Preview copies must reach the festival no later than April 22, 2011.
