The Salt Flats Film Festival is a platform for local filmmakers to show their creative art through the medium of film. The festival is presented by the Joy Foundation, a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization.

We encourage all types of filmmakers from professional to amateur and everything in between to submit a film.

In particular we would like young and up-and-coming filmmakers to show us their skills on film. We have a special category and prizes for our talented young artists.
