Join us in the historic Shenandoah Valley for the 5th Annual Virginia Emerging Filmmakers Festival. We will present short films from current high school and college students across the United States and Canada. Films must be 15 minutes in length or less and not previously submitted. We will accept films in the categories of animation, comedy/drama, horror, documentary or music video. Films will be considered by a team of judges from the Shenandoah University faculty and alumni base, the programming team at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, and guest judges. Selected films will screen for a live audience at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Winchester. Acceptance notifications will contain information on discounted hotel rooms at the Comfort Inn & Suites next to the theater.
