Kanab, Utah's official Film Festival returns April 21 - 24, 2022.
There is no denying that food is a huge part of our Festival, who doesn’t love to chow down on delicious grub while watching great films? So this year we have kicked it up a notch and highlighting the food component. We are the same great event with exceptional films, now with a focus on curated local eats during the screenings, let it be a FILM AND FOOD FRENZY Friends (try saying that three times fast!)
FESTIVAL DETAILS: Our 4-day long celebration of film, food, workshops, parties and networking is a one-of-a-kind festival experience for filmmakers and festival-goers alike with unmatched hospitality. “It was a 4-day all-inclusive getaway from reality that’s literally just fun at every moment” - Actor/ Filmmaker Colin Cunningham.
LOCATION : The Festival is held in scenic Kanab, Utah, known for its beauty, proximity to six National Parks, including Zion, Bryce, and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, and its long and storied history of filmmaking going back to the 1930s. Kanab has been coined Little Hollywood, and between 1930 and the 1990s, over 300 films have been made here and the list continues to grow! The Kanab Film Fest aims to celebrate this rich movie-making history and bring it into the current day.
This year we will screen at the newly restored Redstone Theatre on Main Street.
JUDGING : We take to heart the amount of work put into each film. Therefore, we are careful to ensure each submission is reviewed at great depth and watched in its entirety. We like to be transparent in our process and judge the story over the production value. Our panel is made up of industry professionals, movie critics, and every day people who enjoy watching all kinds of movies.
SUBMISSION DETAILS : Please submit your film in the appropriate category. Kanab Film Fest organizers- Jeff and Britt Roth- can be reached through kanabfilm.com or by email to hello@kanabfilm.com.
We value the power of a well-told story. We can’t wait for you to tell us yours.
