The New Hampshire Film and Television Office is now accepting submissions for the 2014 New Hampshire High School Short Film Festival.
All submissions must be postmarked on or before March 31, or arrive at the Film and Television Office at 19 Pillsbury St. by 4 p.m. on that date.
Created in 2007, the New Hampshire High School Short Film has become one of the marquee film festivals in the state, fostering interest in film making and rewarding future members of the industry for their craft.
The Festival is open to students in grades 9-12 at New Hampshire public or private high schools; homeschooled students ages 14–18 are also eligible.
Submissions do not have to have been created as part of a school project and there is no entry fee. To be considered, a film cannot be longer than seven minutes, including titles and credits.
A panel of judges made up of New Hampshire film industry professionals will review all submissions. Select films will be shown at the Festival itself, which takes place at Red River Theatres in Concord on May 24, beginning at noon.
Winning films will also be screened on New Hampshire Day and Night at the New Hampshire Film Festival in Portsmouth in October, the SNOB (Somewhat North of Boston) Film Festival in Concord in November and the Monadnock International Film Festival in Keene in April 2015.
Rules and guidelines, film submission forms and other information about the New Hampshire High School Short Film Festival can be found at nhstudentfilm.com.
