As a filmmaker himself, the festival Director is highly conscious to offer truth in advertising and a fair opportunity to his fellow creative filmmakers.
A selection of winning films and teasers will be screened on December 7, 2018 from 6pm until 11pm at the Courthouse Center for the Arts for a wonderful event with complimentary snacks, beverages, and surprises hosted by Avalonia Festival. Filmmakers, their friends and family are encouraged to join us, although they are responsible for their own travel expenses.
Filmmakers and their guests will be put on the guest list for the event. Attending filmmakers will be offered the opportunity to introduce themselves, discuss their work in a Q and A with the audience and network with those attending.
The chosen works, as agreed upon by the filmmaker , will be celebrated by being shared on our webpage and in our Circle of Champions https://distancefromavalon.com/avalonia-awards/
Winning filmmakers will also be emailed complimentary, nicely designed Avalonia Festival Award Certificates that can be printed for home display and/or shared on-line. (We will send each winning filmmaker a PDF and/or JPG of their corresponding Award Certificates for you to use online and/or print for yourself.)
With the possible exception of a tie, there will be only one Award Winner in each division of Genre and Run Time so each accolade will be prestigious.
At times, special recognition Awards are created for Avalonia Filmmakers whose works may prove to be excellent yet fall outside our genres. Film is a subjective and always changing medium and our festival Awards aim to represent both tradition AND progress.
Check out our website and see that Avalonia Festival is a festival FOR filmmakers BY a filmmaker; we are looking to support your work and GROW your audience.
