2009 Rockland Short Film Festival

Our county is home to many film professionals, and to others who make films for the sake of supporting or documenting their other artistic work—or simply for sheer enjoyment. This festival brings you shorts ranging from experimental to documentary and dance, created by a diverse group of local artists.

Submission requirements (in brief):

Deadline: April 1, 2009
Format:  DVD
Length: 15 minutes or less

How do I get tickets to the Festival and what do they cost?
Admission to the Short Film Festival is free (although donations will be welcome), but tickets are required. Check back after April 1 for more information on how and where to get tickets.

Immediately before the Short Film Festival, we will be holding our annual Rockland Student Film Festival (click here [link to Doc B] for more information). We encourage you to come at 6:00 and see the work of our very own up-and- coming filmmakers.
