The Experimental Film Fest 2025

The Experimental Film Fest features Avant-Garde and Experimental films in any sub-genre. We want the unusual, the macabre, the offbeat, the beautiful, the ugly, and the truly experimental film. Explore the medium in ways that are not only unconventional but entertaining. Remember that you want an audience for your films, so be sensitive to the eyes, ears, and emotions of those who will experience your work.

Student films are judged with all other films for awards but are also judged separately for Best Student Film. This award is meant to encourage young filmmakers to participate in film festivals and to bring new talent to the screen for audiences.

Prêmios em dinheiro: 550$

The awards carry the following prizes:

Festival Winner - $150
Critic's Choice - $100
Audience Favorite - $100
Best Student Film - $100
Best Animation - $100
