2nd Annual Gatlinburg Screenfest set for March

The Second Annual Gatlinburg Screenfest is scheduled for March 26-28, 2010. This independent film festival focuses on promoting the artists and filmmakers and bringing their craft to the local residents and tourists of eastern Tennessee.

The Gatlinburg Screenfest accepts any genre of filmmaking including documentary and short films. All films, regardless of genre, are judged by the same standards. All submissions will be viewed and judged by an evaluating panel. The highest rated 10 films will be screened at the festival. The submitted films are judged based on ten factors: story, script flow, cinematography/use of camera, lighting, acting, music, sound quality/effects, originality, aesthetics and editing style.

Advanced tickets for the Gatlinburg Screenfest will be available after the schedule of selections and show times are announced.

The festival is held at River Terrace Resort. In addition to the film screenings, there will also be seminars, guest speakers, director question and answer sessions, and new idea development assemblies, as well as parties designed to let everyone mingle and learn from each other.
