Fearless Film Festival
(Applications will be accepted for 2009 beginning in September, 2008)
In collaboration with the Lone Star Film Society, the MAIN ST. Fort Worth Arts Festival is proud to present Fearless Film Festival 3 - the Sequel of the Sequel. This short film and video festival has attracted filmmakers from all over the world, and our invited films will be announced March 15. Films will be shown in the David L. Tandy Lecture Hall in the Fort Worth Central Library (just two blocks from the Festival ground on 3rd and Throckmorton Streets) from noon to 6 pm on Saturday and Sunday, April 18 and 19, during the Arts Festival.
3F3 will be presented as part of the new, "Off MAIN!" series of performances in venues both on and off Main Street, including the Library, the Jubilee Theater, UT Arlington/Fort Worth Center, Circle Theater, Four Day Weekend Theater, McDavid Studio, and Bass Hall.
Calls for entries begin on September 1, 2008, and will close March 25, 2009. A panel of jurors from the Lone Star Film Society will review the applications, and will select the best for screening during the event. Selections will be posted March 15, 2009.
3F3 incorporates works of all genres including animation, narrative, experimental, documentary, music video, and dance films. The festival awards cash and non-cash prizes in several categories including Best of Show ($500), Best Student Film ($100), Best Youth Film ($100), and Best Locally Produced Film ($100).
3F3’s goals are to enthuse, confuse, stir, and inspire its audiences through the exposure to underground and innovative short films that are rarely seen. 3F2 aims to encourage the public to absorb new film experiences that dare to extend beyond the mainstream definition of cinematic entertainment. 3F2 wants to cultivate a notable short film festival, with a flair for the inventive, that functions as a resourceful filmmaker’s forum and marketplace. This program is designed to appeal to a broad and diverse audience, with a focus on a younger, under-35 age group due to the nature of the film presentation.
