Each year, more than 200 films are submitted to the festival.  Selected films play to large audiences, as all films are free to the public, and filmmakers are invited to speak about their work. Submission fees are kept extremely low to encourage participation.

Attending filmmakers receive discounted hotel rates and admission to all events including any special speaking engagements, awards ceremonies, and meet-and-greet parties.

The festival is juried by 5 members of the film community, and awards are presented for Best Documentary, Best Narrative, Best Experimental, Best Local Production, and Best of Show. This year’s festival will feature three days of film screenings, a “midnight madness” cult classic screening, a Q&A panel with attending filmmakers, and a filmmakers meet and greet reception.

As in the past years, we are looking for comical, dramatic, documentary, independent, avant-garde, personal, experimental, or any other form of creative filmmaking that challenges the masses and the 'Hollywood' aesthetic. We also encourage and spotlight animation and pixelvision films and videos. We show film and video creations made as a form of art, not as a means of making a profit at the expense of our culture.
