This festival is the film equivalent of the deep cut on your fav record. That amazing track that never makes the airwaves, but to you and yours, out rocks the single.
So we want you to dig deep. We want to screen the cinema from the edge, the fringe frames that need to be seen and shared.
We're looking for all genres, as well as works that don't easily fit in to any specific box. We'll have different blocks of films, and depending on what we receive will determine the categories.
But here's what we're envisioning, film blocks under the themes of:
Update August 3, 2019: We are no longer accepting horror films.
Update: Due to the health concerns posed by Covid-19, the festival dates are subject to change. We may also present the fest in a "virtual" manner--online, or otherwise--so as to ensure the safety of all film fans within the city. Here's hoping things are better by late January.
Update: Jan. 3. Due to covid, live shows remain a distant dream. The festival will be online this year. Five blocks will be streamed online via our site for one night only (five blocks, one block per evening). We have partnered with YouTV, our local television network, and they have been kind enough to broadcast four nights of programming.
Thrillers
Comedy
Experimental films
Art house / mind blowing films
Home movies
Road movies
Industrial / Corporate & Commercial videos
Drama
Documentaries
Yes, the categories are wide, but a deep cut doesn't limit itself to one genre. Show us what you've got, we can't wait to watch. We love indies, and we love keeping things weird in North Bay!
This is a juried festival and winners will receive the Deep Cut Award for various categories.
