The Savoy is passionate about sharing the work of local Vermont filmmakers and work that was created in the great hills of Vermont so this year we are hosting a Vermont Filmmakers Showcase! If you are a filmmaker based in Vermont or produced, filmed and directed your work in Vermont then please submit your film for a chance to be shown on our big screen!

The Savoy VT Filmmakers Showcase is designed to promote the art of filmmaking by showcasing the films of Vermont filmmakers, and expose audiences to the creative talents in their community, and to provide opportunities for audiences to engage in post-screening discussions with the filmmakers.

The Showcase will take place on June 28th for an all-day event at The Savoy Theater in Montpelier VT. Eligible films include shorts, docs, and features of any length. The filmmakers of selected films are encouraged to attend for a post-screening Q&A session.
