Backcountry Film Festival

About

You don’t need a degree from a film school. You don’t need footage shot while dangling precariously, camera in hand, from an ice wall in the Rockies. All you need is a compelling story, some quality footage and a keen eye for a fun, educational or juicy topic.

The Backcountry Film Festival premieres in Boise, Idaho and travels during the winter months in over 100 cities worldwide and is seen by over 7000 outdoor enthusiasts.

Awards

Three awards (cash, goods, or a combination of both) will be given:

• Best of Festival,
• Best Short Short (under 5 minutes),
• Best Environmental Message.

Rules

Your film should be short— from 3 till 20 minutes — and tell a thought-provoking, interesting story of backcountry, non-motorized recreation or environmental preservation. Your film should take place during or otherwise relate to the winter.

We prefer 16:9 aspect ratio at HDTV 1920×1080 square pixels.
