9TH LDS FILM FESTIVAL 2010
JANUARY 20-23, 2010 | SCERA CENTER, OREM

SPECIAL SCREENINGS

Decription:
Every year we showcase a number of films that are between 20 and 60 minutes long. In the past, we were able to present acclaimed live action, documentary and animation films that were of special interest to an LDS audience. Special screenings are not part of a competition, but give filmmakers an opportunity to present their work to an interested audience. It also helps filmmakers to network with other filmmakers. Most of the time, the director or producer of the film is present at the screening and has the opportunity to answer questions after the screening.

Awards:
Special screenings are not part of a competition. No awards will be given in this category.

Length:
20-60 minutes

Criteria:
The LDS Film Festival is looking for entries demonstrating intelligence, spirituality, originality, integrity, and technical excellence in their approach to the subject matter and motto of the festival. Narrative, documentary, animation and experimental films are welcome. No foul language, sexual content or graphic violence will be permitted. Films and videos must have been completed within the last three years to be eligible. All submissions must be in English or subtitled in English.

Subject Matter:
Films do not have to be LDS or gospel themed. We are looking for honest stories that are personal, real and true. You have all the freedom you need to express something important, unique, or personal. Please review the motto of the festival for more information regarding the subject matter.
