About the festival

After 3 festivals, the Boone Film Festival is taking time off to consider our next steps.

Our High Country outdoor community is large, healthy, and vibrant. A few Boone locals decided to create an opportunity to celebrate the stories of adventure, environment, and culture found in the Appalachian Region. Visit the Boone Film Festival website for latest details of events.

The Boone Film Festival accepts all types of film or video submissions (narrative, documentary and animation) that include as the subject matter the Appalachian Region, and/or people from the Appalachian Region.

Tune in to our Facebook page for updates, information, and notes of interest!

There are four categories of film to be judged:

Appalachian Culture
Appalachian Adventure
Appalachian Environment
Youth Competition (free submission - enter waiver code at checkout - booneffyouth2018)

We recommend submitting films under 30 minutes. Due to limited programming time (3 hour main event) we are less likely to show long form films and recommend submitting 20-30 minute cut.

Awards:
Best In Show Appalachian Region Film, $500 cash prize
Best Culture Film, $250 cash prize
Best Adventure Film, $250 cash prize
Best Environment Film, $250 cash prize
