Siding Festival of Film

**Please Enter your film in One Category Only!** The 7th Siding Festival of Film has a special interest and preference in submissions that are 'Rural' and or remotely produced locations outside of urban centre’s. Films can be any genre including drama, documentary, animated, music video, virtual reality, experimental and student. Films must be Independently produced. Enter your film in one category only. Due to current global situations we are restructuring the festival to accommodate new regulations. This year the festival will be held outdoors for social distancing. We have decided to run the festival in four parts with one screening a month over four months. Our first screening date is mid August 2021. There will be a September, October and November screening. The November screening is the grand finale and will include award winning films as well. Films are exhibited in 4 venues in Creston, including the single screen Art Deco style Tivoli Theatre. First opened in November 1938 this 250-seat theatre is modernized with a Christie-equipped projector capable of showing projects edited in DCI-P3 or Rec. 709 colour spaces. (Presently the theatre is closed until further notice due to covid19 health regulations) One of British Columbia's largest and premiere agricultural regions, the Creston Valley enjoys proximity to the United States (10 minute drive to the border with Idaho), excellent accommodations, a vibrant downtown core and state-of-the-art recreational facilities -- all at play in the region's unique confluence of strong foodie and arts cultures, with its incredible restaurants, galleries and myriad points of interest along Kootenay Lake. '7th Siding' was the original name for Creston, BC.
