The Teck Rossland Mountain Film Festival is set to celebrate its 14th year of existence this November, the annual festival running from Wednesday the 13th to Sunday the 17th in R-Town, Rossland BC, home to Red Mountain Resort and The Seven Summits.
Currently, the RMFF board is actively seeking entries from filmmakers big, small, medium-sized, or as yet completely undiscovered; If you are a filmmaker or know of a filmmaker who has been flying under the radar, we would love to receive those films for possible inclusion in the festival. With equal billing given to ski, snowboard, mountain-biking, kayaking, climbing and other adrenalin-secreting pursuits, the festival is also keen on films of an environmental nature, films that feature a distinct narrative arc (we like stories!), as well as those that celebrate wilderness, arts and culture relating to mountain-life, and so on…
Fly-fishing? You betcha. Send it in. Aggressive unicycling? Ten-four, one-wheeler; fire it our way. Home-made wing-suit documentary? If it doesn’t wind up a snuff-film, we’re interested! A longstanding Kootenay tradition, the Teck-sponsored Rossland Mountain Film Fest is committed to presenting the latest, greatest, big budget flicks alongside homegrown, roots-based, independent films. Short films, feature lengths, all submissions will be considered, one of the best aspects of the submissions process being FREE ENTRY; Unlike exclusive marquis festivals, the RMFF does not charge filmmakers a submissions fee- We would sooner you diverted your hard earned cash towards lift-tickets and beer, the same as our mountain-loving folk here in town!
For more information on the festival o/a how to submit a film, please visit our website: rosslandmountainfilmfestival.com
*Please note- Entries/submissions must be received by October 1st!* Hope to see your celluloid, digital, or BETA cam entries soon! On DVD. And USB drive. Cuz that’s the deal
For more information, contact our volunteer films coordinator at rmffsubmissions@gmail.com
