The Media Arts Council (M.A.C.) of Media, Pennsylvania, held its first Film Festival in February, 2008. Owing to its great success over the last four years, we are proud to announce the 2012 Media Film Festival. The festival will be held February 23 - 25, 2012, and we are now calling for entries from local, national and international filmmakers.
Respecting the mission of the M.A.C., Media and Delaware County resident filmmakers will be given a special category of submission.
The festival is open to films of three lengths -- Short-Short (under 5 minutes), Short (5-40 minutes) and Feature Length (maximum 90 minutes). Films can be of any type -- narrative, documentary, animation, experimental, etc.
Additionally, the festival is accepting entries for two special “festivals within a festival.”
- The Late-Night Horror Fest is open to horror shorts 40 minutes and under. Entry fees are the same as for regular festival submissions.
- The Student Shorts Festival is open to shorts 15 minutes or less, by filmmakers 18 and under. Special student entry fees apply.
