The Lone Star International Film Festival has been fortunate to receive some very high quality animated films in the past, but as a fan of the medium my goal is to get so many great animated films that we have to set aside an entire viewing block to accommodate the best.  Animated features are encouraged to enter as well.

We are making a concerted effort to remove any financial barriers to entry and have lowered our fees significantly.  Our fee for all short form films is only $15 when filmmakers enter through Withoutabox before May 31st.

For full rules and information please visit our listing at Withoutabox.

Or visit http://www.lsiff.com to view our most recent festival.

Films that have been selected to screen at the LSIFF have gone on to receive recognition at major festivals and awards shows such as Cannes, Sundance, and the Academy Awards.  Our competition jury is comprised of industry professionals and prizes are designed to facilitate future projects of award winning filmmakers.  Past shorts prizes have consisted of software such as Autodesk Maya 2010, Final Draft, and other software to simplify the filmmaking process, while last year’s narrative feature winner was awarded over $50,000 worth of professional services toward their next feature.

Please contact me if you have any further questions.
