The New Hampshire Film and Television Office is accepting submissions for the 2011 New Hampshire High School Short Film Festival.
Designed to foster and reward interest in filmmaking for future members of the industry, the New Hampshire High School Short Film Festival is open to students enrolled in grades 9-12 at New Hampshire public or private high schools.
In addition to providing students with a public venue for showing their work, the festival is also a great way for students to build their resumes and make their college applications stand out.
A panel of judges made up of New Hampshire film industry professionals will review all submissions and then select films to be shown at the festival, which takes place at New Hampshire Technical Institute's Sweeney Hall Auditorium in Concord on June 18 beginning at noon.
Winning films will be screened on New Hampshire Day at the New Hampshire Film Festival in Portsmouth in October, the SNOB Film Festival in Concord in November and at Red River Theatres in summer 2011.
All submissions must be postmarked on or before March 31or arrive at the State Library in Concord by 4 p.m. on that date. Rules and guidelines, film submission forms and other festival information about the NH High School Short Film Festival can be found online at http://www.nhstudentfilm.com.
The New Hampshire Film and Television Office works to expand business activity and employment throughout the state by acting as a liaison between the film industry and an established network of government agencies, the state's film industry workforce, and local property owners.
