About the SDFF

submitted on 02/14/2008 (info@southdakotafilmfest.org)

A unique statewide event for filmmakers and film lovers to gather, mingle
and watch pretty cool movies.

The "South Dakota Film Festival" will begin taking submissions on March 1, 2008.
The South Dakota Film Festival's emphasis is on films made by filmmakers
from the Great Plains region (SD, MN, ND, IA, WY, MT, and NE) or films shot
in the Great Plains region.

However, regional considerations are only one of many factors considered in
the final draw of films chosen for the "South Dakota Film Festival".

While we are trying to emphasize films from the Great Plains, that is not
the primary focus. The goal of the "South Dakota Film Festival" is to screen
the "best" films submitted regardless of their geographic origin.

The screening weekend of the South Dakota Film Festival runs September
19-21, 2008. All films will be shown in the Historic Capitol Theatre in
downtown Aberdeen, SD.

Submit your films to the South Dakota Film Festival. Short Film Submissions
and Feature Film Submissions are being accepted. Categories for features and
shorts include Animation, Documentaries and Narrative.
