We are excited to announce the Nouxfest Outdoor Film Festival, a celebration of short films that capture the beauty and adventure of outdoor activities. As part of the Nouxfest Outdoor Festival 2024 in Nuuksio, Espoo, Finland, we are organizing a short film competition with an outdoor theme.

We invite filmmakers to submit their short films, up to 8 minutes in length, that showcase the joy of outdoor activities, whether in summer or winter. The genre of the film can be anything from an acted short film to a documentary, music video, landscape film, or even an animation. The film should be related to either summer or winter outdoor activities and should focus on creating a compelling story and atmosphere.

The competition has two categories: summer and winter. A jury will evaluate the films and select the best ones to be awarded and presented at Nouxfest's evening program. The submission deadline is June 30, 2024, and the jury's selections will be announced by August 4, 2024.

We encourage all filmmakers who are passionate about the outdoors to participate. Submit your films now at https://filmfreeway.com/Nouxfest and be part of the Nouxfest Outdoor Film Festival!
