From the ethereal to the atrocious, the Buskopolis Festival of Cinematic Oddities explores the square pegs of movie history as well as the proud misfits of present-day filmdom who defy genre.
The hope of the festival is to unearth oddities from all corners of the filmmaking world - without concern for vintage, budget or notoriety. We accept any genre (narrative, documentary, animation, experimental) - with an emphasis on oddball, underground, art, weird, handmade or otherwise unclassifiable bits of flotsam.
Submissions are limited to a maximum running time of 20 minutes.
Films from any and all eras are strongly desired.
All accepted filmmakers are encouraged to attend the festival if possible. Q&A will be held after each screening.
The festival takes place at the historic Clifton Theater in downtown Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, USA, within walking distance of restaurants, the shopping district, and a short drive to Raystown Lake, the largest man-made lake in the state.
NOTE: All accepted filmmakers will receive entry fee waivers to all future festivals - limit of one waiver per year.
