The fourth annual Fernie Mountain Film Festival will be held 7 pm February 25, 26 and 27, 2010 at the Fernie Community Centre, Fernie, British Columbia.
NEW THIS YEAR. A special night dedicated to local filmmakers. On Thursday February 25th local films will be featured and cash prizes will be given out for the best local films. So if you’re a local, get your films put together and get them submitted! You could win some cash!
The Fernie Mountain Film Festival is dedicated to filmmakers who spark awareness of mountain cultures, fragile environments, and the passion and perseverance of global explorers.
Submission deadline: January 15th. (contact us for extensions)
Local Films: February 20th
Entry Fee: Free.
Features: Our two-night event highlights one feature each night. The feature film falls within the boundaries of our mission statement and is an exceptional film. Features are a minimum of 50 minutes and a maximum of 90 minutes.
Shorts: Each night we show a unique selection of short films and film clips. The shorts are varied so that adventure sports, mountain cultures, and environmental topics are all highlighted. Shorts have no minimum length, but are no more than 35 minutes. Films in the 5 to 15 minute range are preferred. Films that are of value but are too long for the shorts and not chosen for the features may be asked to submit a ‘trailer’ or clip to be shown during the short film segment.
FMFF may screen your film if it has been screened elsewhere. Films may be submitted that were completed within the last three years.
Rights clearance for music in your film is your responsibility. FMFF will not be held responsible for any inclusion of uncleared materials.
Films should be submitted on a single DVD and be compatible for with standard North American DVD players. We do not have high definition projectors. It is preferred that you send the DVD in NTSC format.
Please send submission form with the DVD or fax to the number at the bottom of the page.
You may submit as many films as you like.
If your film is selected, you will be contacted in early February. Please make sure the email address you send us is correct.
If your film is awarded ‘Best of Festival’ or ‘Best local film’ you can expect your cash prize within 6 weeks of screening.
