Boise, ID – Winter Wildlands Alliance is seeking entries for its 6th annual Backcountry Film Festival.
The Backcountry Film Festival seeks to promote the work of grassroots filmmakers who tell compelling and entertaining stories of backcountry, nonmotorized recreation and environmental preservation. Do you have a compelling story, some quality footage and a keen eye for a fun, educational or juicy topic?
This year’s categories are: Best Short Short (under 5 minutes), Best Environmental Message and Best of Festival. Last season, a short film entitled “Fast Grass and Dirty Corn”, submitted by Vermont-based adventurers, Brian Mohr and Emily Johnson, of EmberPhoto, won the Best Short Short award.
Film submissions should be short–no longer than 30 minutes–and tell a thought-provoking, interesting story of backcountry, nonmotorized recreation or environmental preservation. Films should take place during or otherwise relate to the winter. We’re open minded about what kind of films we’ll show: documentaries, fiction and experimental films are welcome.
The Film Festival premieres in Boise November 13 and travels during the winter months to more than 30 locations throughout the nation. Although not yet confirmed, a stop in the northeast is planned for this coming winter season.
Submissions must be in DVD format, received in our Boise office by September 15 and include three copies plus a $20 submission fee.
