A NEW KIND OF FILM FESTIVAL.
The You Are Here Film Festival is a web-based film festival dedicated to films that tackle the themes of place and locale. Local subject matters, local people, local culture -- anything goes, so long as it captures the spirit of a specific place. There are no restrictions on the length of the films, format, what have you. Your film can be documentary, fiction, a feature or very short, narrative or experimental. What matters most is the filmmaker’s skill and ability to capture the sense of a place that is unique to all other places in the world.
A ROLLING FESTIVAL.
Submissions are rolling. So submit any time. Winners receive $100 prize -- and are chosen periodically when it feels like we’ve found a the right film. Winning films will be played on the festival site -- and we’ll also upload the winning films onto other sites. Laurels, email blasts, tweets, and a press release accompany the winning films.
THINK SMALL.
Your film can be about a county, a town, a city street, a rural field, a single address. This is a festival that seeks to express what it means to be from somewhere specific.
WHY LOCAL?
Local is good. This is true for food, for friends, and for film. There are a lot of great festivals out there celebrating different kinds of films for everybody. But there is yet to be a festival that celebrates the notion of place.
