After the stunning success of our inaugural Susquehanna Film Festival - the 1st festival of its kind to be held in historic Williamsport, Pennsylvania by founder Tim Yasui (a career Hollywood based film producer and film distributor who was originally born and raised in Williamsport)- we return even bigger & better in 2026!
Our Festival will celebrate not only international films, but also regionally-produced feature films and short films from Williamsport, PA and the Greater Pennsylvania region. We will encourage all film makers and young students also who are studying Film to submit their films which otherwise might be ignored by the national festivals. Minimum film lengths are 20 minutes for short films and student films and 30 minutes for Animation.
Screening Fee Shorts: 15$
Screening Fee Features: 20$
Experienced, talented and independent judges will help us determine the awards given to best Student Films, best Pennsylvania made films, best Documentary films, best short-films, best Foreign Films, best drama, best horror, best comedy, best animation. An Awards event will be held in Williamsport, Pennsylvania where we will announce the winners and present them with their awards on the Monday evening following the Saturday and Sunday Festival screenings.
