Note to North Texas filmmakers: Fearless Film Festival 3 wants to see your short film

by John P. Meyer

The sequel to the sequel to the first ever film event at the Main Street Fort Worth Arts Festival will take place April 18 and 19 (from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and 1:15 to 5 p.m. Sunday) in the David L. Tandy Lecture Hall of the Fort Worth Central Library.

This event - properly referred to as Fearless Film Festival 3 (3F3) - will feature short films and videos from all over the world. These 20-minute or shorter movies will represent forms ranging from documentary to experimental to narrative, with awards being handed out in the various categories and for best-in-show. Actual prizes will be involved, with the big winner ending up with a $5,000 rental credit with Panavision.

Last year's overall winner is a six-minute film called Made In Japan (dir. Ciro Atlabas). This year, it could be the product of your creative juices transposed to film or video, if you'll allow the messy metaphor.

You may still submit an entry to 3F3 by filling out an application and sending in your flick. Contact Melissa Kirkendall (at melissa@highlandmyst.net) for further details.
