Rochester International Film Festival

About

One of the oldest short film festival in USA. Selection process has two stages. Each entry is first viewed in its entirety by MOAS members, who discuss the film and vote whether to keep it for final judging. Every filmmaker receives a critique letter summarizing viewers' comments about his or her entry.

When preliminary judging is completed, final judges view all the entries that were kept and make the final festival selections. Each entry chosen for the festival receives our distinctive Shoestring Trophy. Organizers also offer home accommodations and local transportation for filmmakers whose works are screened at the festival.
