The 12th annual Hill Country Film Festival draws premier indie filmmakers, and the four-day independent film festival runs from Thursday through Sunday, July 29-Aug. 1, at the Nimitz Museum Ballroom and the Hoffman Haus Great Hall.
Films from all over the world are accepted in the following categories: narrative (feature and short), documentary (feature and short) and student short films.
The recommended length for shorts is no longer than 30 minutes and between 90-120 minutes for feature films.
The regular deadline for submissions to the festival is April 9; however, the festival also has a late deadline of May 7 and extended deadline on May 21.
Organizers will offer awards in 10 categories, including a student film category. The winners of the Cinema Dulce — Best of Fest and Best Texas Film awards will also receive cash prizes sponsored by Pedernales Cellars.
For attendees, all access badges and day passes will go on sale online in spring 2021. The all-access badge, which gives holders priority seating and access to exclusive festival parties in addition to four days of screenings and panels, costs $200.
The day passes also allow holders to access the VIP lounge with badge holders for $75 for a Thursday pass and $100 each for Friday and Saturday passes. Both of these options also include complimentary food and drink.
Individual tickets will also be sold, as available, at the door of each screening for $12.
