Li'l Film Fest, The Quarterly Film Festival of Shorts! The Festival Li'l Film Fest is a quarterly, theme-based film festival, focusing on highlighting our local talent while showcasing interesting happenings around town. Our goal is to encourage and inspire Memphis filmmakers while engaging a local audience in order to strengthen our artistic community. The festivals occur quarterly (in March, June, September, and December) and is held at the Memphis Digital Arts Co-operative (MeDiA co-op). How does Li'l Film Fest work? It's pretty easy. Basically, we here at LFM will pick a theme, then we'll announce that theme to you, and then you get to go out and make a short video (or film if you want to be fancy) using that theme; the rest of the content is up to you. Why is it a li'l fest? Two reasons: One, we have one every quarter, that's FOUR festivals a year. How fun is that? And two, when we say li'l we mean it - your film must be 5 minutes or less. Is there anything else I should know? Geez, you ask a lot of questions, but the answer is Yes. There are 2 awards given at each festival, the Audience Choice Award and the Jury Award both of which receive a trophy and $200 in cash!! And, if that's not enough incentive for you, each winner has a guaranteed spot in the next Indie Memphis Film Festival! So keep that in mind when you're rolling those cameras.
