The New Vision Film Festival is an exciting event exclusively for high school students residing in the Shenandoah Valley, VA. Our festival is open to all levels of creators, whether you shot your film on a cellphone or a professional camera. Submit your short film today and get a chance to have it shown on the big screen at the Alamo Drafthouse and Cinema. 

​

As an accepted filmmaker, you will be treated to a red carpet experience that includes a goodie bag filled with donations from local businesses. You'll be introduced before the showings and there will be a chance for the audience to ask you questions following the screenings. We want you to feel like a star on your big night!

​

The festival screening will take place on Saturday, August 31st at 5:00pm in a theater full of friends, family and the general public for a low price of just $5 per ticket.   

​

Our panel of judges will have the difficult task of selecting the Best Picture, while the audience will have the opportunity to choose their favorite through the People's Choice award. Each winner will walk away with a cash prize. 

​

Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to showcase your talent and creativity with your family, friends and the general public. 

​

We are now accepting submissions until the deadline of August 1st, 2024.
