The Cedar Rapids Independent Filmmakers are proud to host The 11th Annual Cedar Rapids Independent Film Festival to be held Friday, April 1 and Saturday, April 2, 2011 at Collins Road Theatres in Marion, Iowa.The Festival provides a unique opportunity for Iowa-connected films and filmmakers. After our panel of independent judges has culled its Official Selections from among all the submitted films, we will screen all the selected films in front of an open invitation audience. All Official Selections will be in the running for the coveted Eddy Awards as well as other valuable prizes. Filmmakers will also have the chance to view their fellow entrants' films and to network with their peers. Filmmakers will also have the option of introducing their films to the audience prior to the screening, either in person or via a written statement to read by Festival emcees.All filmmakers who submit their films for consideration will receive one (1) Full Event Pass and one (1) commemorative 2011 Cedar Rapids Independent Film Festival t-shirt (with Official Selections and credits printed on the back) for each film they enter. The Full Event Pass entitles each filmmaker to free admittance for every screening of every film throughout the two-day Festival.All entrants will also have the opportunity to attend a critique session with the panel of judges in the days following the Festival. This critique session will give each filmmaker a chance to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of their films with the judges as well as consider possibilities for any future projects.Bur before we can have a festival, we ned some films to screen. That's where you come in...
