10th Annual Short Film Competition

As a non-profit film society, part of Mountain Shadow’s vision and mission has been to foster and support great independent filmmaking. Since creating this annual event nine years ago, this short film competition has been unique; charging no submission fee for emerging film artists; but requiring finalists to agree to present their works in person if selected as a Finalist. This makes it a truly collaborative effort between the filmmaker and our film society!

This year’s volunteer Jury, consisting of seventeen Mountain Shadow members, previewed 344 submissions, in order to select 11 Finalists from far and wide, to present their works in person for audience balloting and cash awards! These outstanding short films included three live-action narratives, and four documentaries and four animated shorts.
