CAPITAL CITY
BLACK FILM FESTIVAL
Austin, Texas - USA
September 26 to 28, 2013
Upcoming Deadline: August 5, 2013
The 1st Annual Capital City Black Film Festival (CCBFF) provides burgeoning black filmmakers from across the United States with an exceptional platform on which to showcase their works in an unforgettable city. The festival not only celebrates the great cinematic talents of tomorrow, it educates gifted filmmakers about the wide range of resources available to them in the City of Austin -- and in Texas. In June 2013, The New York Times declared that this year is set to be "a breakout year for black films", and CCBFF is resolutely dedicated to leading in that effort. Feature films, docs, shorts, student projects, and music videos are all welcome at this high-spirited festival.
Panel discussions, screenings, industry networking events, and adrenaline-pumping parties make up just some of the CCBFF experience, all with the intent to increase and encourage diversity in the independent and mainstream marketplaces. If you've got a great project that adds an exciting new voice or color to the media landscape, CCBFF is here to embrace it and to connect you with other creative collaborators. Submit today!
NEW HAMPSHIRE
FILM FESTIVAL
Portsmouth, New Hampshire - USA
October 17 to 20, 2013
Upcoming Deadline: August 5, 2013
The 13th Annual New Hampshire Film Festival (NHFF) proudly presents the very best of independent film at four state-of-the-art screening venues in the gorgeous seacoast city of Portsmouth. Teeming with New England charm and camaraderie, NHFF quickly generates a small, close-knit community that makes networking a breeze. The prestige of the festival's extraordinary programming -- which includes features, documentaries, shorts, and home-grown New Hampshire indies -- lends significant clout to any filmmaker's resume and ensures a spectacular audience experience.
Five NHFF parties unfold throughout the four-day celebration, and every participating filmmaker is assured press attention. The result is a festival experience that can really turn heads towards incredible talents worthy of exposure and opportunity. Each award winner receives a distinctive, ten-pound, granite trophy (affectionately called "The Granny"), and the festival's screenplay winner will receive a two-week screenwriter's residency on Star Island, including accommodations, ferry transportation, and two lobster dinners for two. It's an extraordinary prize valued at $3,660 USD, but you can't get it if you don't enter!

CHRISTIAN LIFE
INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
Thamesville, Ontario - Canada
September 21 to September 22, 2013
Upcoming Deadline: August 15, 2013
The 1st Annual Christian Life International Film Festival (CLIFF) champions unforgettable films that prompt a deeply emotional response from their audiences. Although CLIFF is a Christian-themed festival that promotes and exalts Christian values, submitted projects are not required to reference Christianity -- they just need to be great stories that engage hearts and minds. Cash prizes will be presented to the festival's Best Short, Best Animated Film, Best Documentary, Best Music Video, and Most Popular Film. At its core, CLIFF aims to both "touch and teach" its audiences with clean, thoughtful, well-crafted productions.
CLIFF will screen Christian-oriented films with deep meanings, powerful messages, and run times between 5 and 30 minutes. Submitted projects should be "G" or "PG" rated, and selected films will be screened at a collection of Thamesville churches that will also be offering worship services on the Sunday morning of the festival. Film lovers in search of a creative, inquisitive, and social Christian community will thrill at all that can be found and enjoyed at CLIFF. Submit your work, and enjoy a stellar weekend of fun and film!
