Eye Myth has spent a long time being born. Named after 9 second film by the eminent filmmaker, Stan Brakhage, Eye Myth is about our passion and love of film.
Eye Myth is a platform for emerging and established artists to have the opportunity to have their work seen by as extensive an audience as possible. We value independent filmmaking, artistic integrity, and, above all, artistic innovation. As such our festival is more geared towards films that may be called "art & experimental" but in the interest of not limiting our goals we also accept non-genre narrative films.
All filmmakers are invited to submit.
Awards TBD
Award for Best Narrative Film
Award for Best Video Essay
Award for Best Experimental Film
Award for Most Outstanding Film at Eye Myth

This may be tricky for some, as video essays are a new medium, but a video essay is NOT a documentary. A video essay is an essay performed via voice over, coupled with a video that utilizes relevant imagery. More pointedly - a video essay is a work wherein the artist critiques the work of another. If you submit a documentary in this category (or any category since I'm not accepting documentaries) it will be disqualified.
Festhome holds accountable fees festivals by holding the payment of the fees of most newer festivals until they have viewed the submissions, held their festivals and other methods.
