Albany FilmFest 2022: Coming in October Submissions open January 15
We’re back!
Join us for the return of Albany FilmFest, a multi-platform, multicultural, multi-voiced celebration of independent short films encourages conversation, community, and connection in the real world. Local filmmakers and youth filmmakers are especially welcome to submit their best work, joining independent filmmakers from the Bay Area and around the world. This year, in addition to our usual eclectic mix of drama, comedy, documentary, and animation, we’re looking for original storytellers and films exploring the issues we face in today’s turbulent world: climate and sustainability, communities in transition, employment, the LGBT+ community, women, and social justice, and more. Celebrating our Year 11 return, we are inaugurating the Joseph Andre McCord Award for the short film that best represents the themes of social justice and racial equity. All categories and genres are eligible. This award is in honor of our friend the late Joe McCord, a long-time supporter of Albany FilmFest who believed in the power of film to change society. Award winners for this honor and Best Film categories are selected by a jury of film industry professionals.
