About

The West Virginia University Department of Art, in association with the Appalshop organization, is pleased to announce a call for entries to the West Virginia Mountaineer Short Film Festival. Festival organizers seek exceptional, compelling and innovative entries in the categories of Documentary, Narrative and Animation/Experimental Video. A fourth category has been established for works that explore, investigate or reference Appalachian themes or issues. Finally, works by young filmmakers (under the age of eighteen) will be accepted and judged separately.

There are no rules governing content or artistic approach. There are no entry fees for submission of work. We only seek to celebrate well crafted, compelling or conceptually challenging works in video, film and multimedia. The only restriction for competitive entries is a 20-minute maximum running time

Awards

Modest awards have been established by the festival organizers to recognize work of exceptional accomplishment. They include a $500.00 Best of Festival award, and five $200 awards in each of the festival categories: Documentary Short, Narrative Short, Animation/Experimental, Appalachian/Regional Topics and Young Filmmakers.
