The Vidlings & Tapeheads Film Festival is dedicated to promoting unconventional narrative film. VTFF will feature live music performances, an art exhibition, and of course ? lots of films! Our inaugural festival will take place on July 7th & 8th, 2017 and we?ll cap the weekend with a filmmaker and VIP-only Award Ceremony Brunch & Excursion on Sunday the 9th.
The regular deadline is April 8th. Late deadline is May 8th, 2017.
We?re looking for films with a unique voice that tell stories in an unusual way, experiment with the medium, or explore eclectic subject matter and themes. We encourage and celebrate subversiveness, innovative use of materials and budget, and quirky independent work that doesn?t fit comfortably within any one genre.
Call them weird, cult, or niche?we know a V&T film when we see one. And though filmmaking is a collaborative effort, we have an unabashed appreciation of the auteur. We love the the absurd humor and magical realism of Terry Gilliam and Jean-Pierre Jeunet, the irreverent sincerity and dysfunctional iconoclasm of John Waters and Jane Campion, the uncanny cleverness and dark mystery of Davids Cronenberg and Lynch, the tactile humanity and visceral goofiness of Jan ?vankmajer and Stephen Chow, the timeless avant-garde dreamscapes of Maya Deren and Slavko Vorkapi#263;, and the haunting beauty and moral ambiguity of Hayao Miyazaki.
We believe that filmmaking should be accessible to all and that content transcends medium. So we welcome all work whether it was shot on VHS, Super 8, an old iPhone, a DSLR, 35mm, or a 5K Red Scarlet. In fact, we have a special place in our hearts for so-called obsolete tech. We connect with characters who are outsiders, freaks, and misfits?both in front of and behind the camera!
The Vidlings & Tapeheads Film Festival aims to a curate a diverse and engaging program from a progressive group of unconventional filmmakers from the U.S. and around the world. We invite people of all ages, genders, ethnic backgrounds, orientations, and walks of life to submit!
We are willing to offer fee waivers for filmmakers with financial hardships. Please email or message on facebook.
