-- COVID-19 UPDATE --

As we continue to monitor the Covid-19 pandemic and follow health experts' advice, we want to keep our filmmakers updated.

In the event of postponement or cancellation due to Covid-19, filmmakers will be able to use their 2021 submission fee for the 2022 festival. Film completion deadlines will be extended to maintain eligibility for Skyline 2022. If the festival goes online in part or full filmmakers will have the option to opt out of screening to protect premiere status.

As a non-profit and supporter of our great local sponsors, we thank everyone for their patience while we navigate the best way to continue to fulfill our mission, while being responsible to our staff, volunteers, and patrons.

At Skyline Indie Film Fest we bring to the Shenandoah Valley the absolute best in independent, undistributed films from around the world. To us, indie means off the beaten path. It means making films because you love to. Daring to be different, to learn and grow. It means overcoming obstacles that could be swept aside if you only had a few more dollars in your bank account. By getting your message across through the use of resourcefulness and adaptability. It means taking initiative, being responsible, and getting in the face of and not backing down from obstacles, naysayers, and detractors.

The indie spirit is alive and well and here, we support, embrace, and celebrate it.

Will you help us… Foster the Indie Spirit!
