Festival Description:

The Carolina Film and Video Festival not only strives to provide emerging and independent filmmakers with their first break – hopefully a springboard to future success - but also to bring to the University of North Carolina Greensboro and Greensboro communities great films not otherwise available. To meet these goals, the program includes animated, narrative, documentary, and experimental films ranging from 2 minutes to 2 hours in length, and created by student and independent filmmakers from around the globe. In addition to on-campus screenings and free daytime programs, the Carousel Cinema sponsors daily showings of feature-length films as well as a Saturday Winners’s Night. Also to demonstrate a commitment to North Carolina filmmakers, CFVF has initiated a North Carolina Showcase.

CFVF invites student and independent filmmakers to submit works of any length, from both student and independent filmmakers, divided into the following categories: narrative, documentary, experimental/animation, North Carolina, and high school. Films or videos must be completed no more than 18 months prior to the deadline. North Carolina and student filmmakers enjoy reduced entry fees.
