Upcoming deadline for the “Flatland Film Festival” (”F3″) on August 1st

Lubbock’s 5th Annual FLATLAND FILM FESTIVAL (F3) is a casual, fun-filled West Texas celebration of cinema drawing appreciative, film-loving audiences. This gem of an event delivers new and exciting films to the area each October.

F3 presents a popular program of short films and curated features crafted by emerging filmmakers, workshops and panel discussions led by industry professionals, and rounds out its packed-house-screenings with fun Flatland parties - all served with a heavy dose of Texas hospitality. The Festival offers over $3500 USD in cash prizes for live action, documentary, animation, and experimental short films, as well as a special award honoring a talented regional filmmaker.

During F3, filmmakers enjoy networking opportunities with visiting and local industry professionals, as well as an opportunity to connect with audiences. In a recent issue ofMovieMaker Magazine, F3 award-winner Annetta Marion declared, “The Flatland Film Festival is one of the best I’ve attended. Plus, with its great venue and appreciative audiences, it’s a true pearl.”
