The Sky Arts Film Festival takes place at the historic Capitol Arts Center in downtown Bowling Green, KY. We are the home of the Corvette, Lost River Cave, and have the second most restaurants per capita in the nation.
Bowling Green is a fast growing city, with a media service sector rapidly increasing. Sitting halfway between Louisville and Nashville on I65, Bowling Green was once a stop over town on the road to Music City. But no longer. We at the Sky Arts Film Festival and our partnerships with the City of Bowling Green are bringing Film and Art into the community.
The mission of the Sky Arts Film Festival is to grow and develop the media industry in Southern Kentucky by giving filmmakers, media professionals, content creators, movie goers, students, and teachers the opportunity to learn and experience an unforgettable event centered around the art of film making. Combined with our Film Festival, we will be holding Masterclasses for local students with industry professionals. As the city grows so does the need for unique and creative media. We are aiming to foster that creation with home grown talent.
Officially selected films will be eligible to receive awards by category, as well as the ranking award for Best of Fest. There will also be individual awards. Prizes will be awarded by a panel of judges based on the film’s overall artistic, narrative, and technical quality.
