St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase
2012 Stella Artois St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase
The St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase (SLFS), an annual presentation of the nonprofit Cinema St. Louis, serves as the area’s primary venue for films made by local artists. SLFS screens works that were written, directed, edited or produced by St. Louis natives or those with strong local ties. The 2012 Showcase programs will screen at the Tivoli from July 7-12. The programs range from full-length fiction features and documentaries to multi-film compilations of fiction and documentary shorts. Many programs include post-screening Q&As with filmmakers.
Cinema St. Louis will accept entries to the 12th annual SLFS from March 1 - May 31, 2012. All entries will also be considered for inclusion in the 21st Annual St. Louis International Film Festival this November. Please click HERE for a downloadable and fillable PDF entry form. Best wishes and good luck!
