ABOUT MOUNTAINFILM IN TELLURIDE


Mountainfilm is America’s premier festival celebrating achievement in adventure and activism, culture and environment. We accept and screen feature and short films – mostly doc but some narrative --  on a broad range of subjects. Of course, we are always interested in work that focuses on mountains, mountain culture and mountaineering but are also partial to films about people who are dedicated to changing the world. See a complete list of films from the 2011 Festival here.

AWARDS


Mountainfilm honors filmmakers and film subjects alike, awarding generous cash prizes to be announced at the Closing Picnic, Monday, May 28, 2012.

SHORT FILMS


We particularly encourage filmmakers to submit short films and are happy to offer a discounted fee. Films that are twenty-five minutes or less in length qualify for a reduced fee through the final deadline of February 17, 2012.

STUDENT FILMS


Please contact entries at mountainfilm dot org to obtain information about submitting with a student discount.

SUBMISSION MATERIALS
We highly encourage you to submit ALL materials online, including the film itself. If online entry is not possible, entrants must submit 2 DVDs (any region, NTSC encouraged). We will not download film files: all online entries must be hosted by the filmmaker or a third party (we recommended Vimeo.com). Please DO NOT include ANY promotional materials in your submission. We will collect high-resolution photographs of official selection films once they have been accepted into the festival.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Film entries to Mountainfilm in Telluride may be of any length, from any country and on any subject. Submitted films should either be in English or include English subtitles. If a film is selected for theater presentation at the festival it is the responsibility of the filmmaker to provide Mountainfilm with either an HDCAM tape or a 35mm film exhibition copy by May 1, 2012.

SHIPPING INFORMATION
If you chose to submit your film by mail you are responsible for all shipping charges to Mountainfilm and for any customs clearances and/or associated fees and taxes. Entry materials will not be returned.
