Desertscape International Film Festival

Get ready for the 4th Year of the quickly growing Desertscape International Film Festival. St. George, UT--as well as a handful of its beautiful surrounding areas-- represents grand desert country at its most breathtaking. This, among other things, makes it a perfect spot for a film festival. Attend the fest and then stick around and check out all the incredible sights and sounds southern Utah has to offer. The Desertscape International Film Festival invites and encourages filmmakers and screenwriters from all around the globe to submit their work--shorts, features, student films, etc. If you're proud of it, submit it! Furthermore, all genres are welcome. Every film designated an “Official Selection” will be presented in a live theatrical setting to enthusiastic festival attendees over the course of 4 fun-filled days in one of the most beautiful cities in the U.S. And yes, awards will be handed out to the best of the best! Our inaugural festival saw 35 films, shorts and features, of multiple genres from all over the world, including the world premiere of Jeff Sanders's provocative thriller, "Lay Me Down to Sleep," the Utah premiere of Kyle B. Thompson's touching drama, "The Boy Hero," the Utah premiere of Eric Gordon's unflinching Alzheimer's documentary, "When All That's Left is Love," Will Kindrick's sci-fi romance, "Storm" fresh off its buzz-worthy Tribeca premiere, and the recent brilliant Oscar-nominated short film, "Brotherhood." Additionally, Desertscape: Year One saw a staggering 60% filmmaker attendance rate, virtually unheard of for a first-year film festival. Years Two and Three saw increases in submissions and attendance, and Year Four promises to be even bigger! If you're a filmmaker, what are you waiting for? Submit your film now! This is a great opportunity to share your work and experience it in a live theatrical setting! In short, this is a 4-day cinematic event you won't want to miss! Conversations with storytellers and like-minded individuals, filmmaker panels, special industry guests, live music, an awards gala, and of course, a wide variety of films for your viewing pleasure, all in beautiful Southern Utah!
