About the Festival

The Las Vegas Film Festival is one of Las Vegas’ premiere film events taking place annually in the heart of the entertainment capital of the world. Dedicated to showcasing the finest American and international cinema the world has to offer, our mission is to bridge the gap between independent film audiences and filmmakers, as well as to connect emerging filmmakers with established industry professionals. The festival offers a variety of film screenings from Oscar-winning films to world premieres, exclusive celebrity tributes and interviews, interactive panel discussions, a screenplay competition, red carpet parties, a filmmaker reception, as well as a closing night ceremony and awards. The 2010 Festival will showcase Feature Films, Shorts, Foreign Films, Documentaries, Animation, Music Videos, Television Pilots, a Nevada Filmmakers Showcase, Experimental Films, a Screenplay Competition and more.

Requirements

DVDs and cassettes must be clearly labeled with title of film and contact information. All foreign entries should be clearly marked on the package as "No Commercial Value - For Cultural Purposes Only" DVDs and videocassettes and will not be returned unless a prepaid envelope is provided with the submission. More than one entry may be submitted. Each entry must be submitted separately. The filmmaker will assume shipping costs of material and print to LVFF. Selected filmmakers are expected to provide: film stills, director photo, synopsis, full production credits, director biography. Films produced in languages other than English must have legible English subtitles or be dubbed in English.

Awards

This year's festival will see over $5,000 in cash and prizes given away to the winning filmmakers and screenwriters. Juried and audience awards are given in several categories to celebrate achievements in filmmaking, screenwriting and acting including cash prizes for the Grand Jury Award, presented to the best film in competition, the Jury Prize awarded to the best short film in the festival, and the top three screenplay finalists.
