Indy Shorts runs the High School Film Competition, presented by founding sponsors Bob & Alison Spoonmore. Launched in 2010, the High School Film Competition encourages tomorrowʼs filmmakers to follow their passion and create short films that push their talents, creativity and art to the next level.
Shorts made by talented high school students from around the world will compete for category prizes in the categories of Narrative, Documentary and Animated ($500 cash prize each). These category winners will then compete for the $2,000 Summer White Lynch Memorial Award. Tickets for this program are FREE!
Connect us to a teacher or school that might like to get involved! Email boxoffice@heartlandfilm.org for more information!
Show your support for the next generation of filmmakers by attending the FREE High School Film Competition Program screening on Saturday, July 23, at Newfields!
When she received the news that there was nothing left to do but wait to die, it inspired a Random Act of Kindness that became a movement over social media which spanned over local communities, states and overseas.
High School Film Competition shorts compete for the $2,000 Summer White Lynch Memorial Award, underwritten by Gary D. & Marlene Cohen.
Summer White Lynch lost her battle to triple negative breast cancer in June 2014.
Gary D. and Marlene Cohen wanted to give back by bringing her spirit to the Heartland Film award, both to honor her and to encourage others to be inspired to do something kind for a random stranger.
The Jenni Berebitsky Legacy Award honors longtime Heartland Film friend, Jenni Berebitsky, who was diagnosed with Lou Gehrigʼs disease in March 2009 and passed away in August 2019.
The documentary short film “Grateful: The Jenni Berebitsky Story,” which centers around her life, won, among other tributes, the Audience Choice Award at the inaugural Indy Shorts International Film Festival.
Regarding the award, Jenni remarked, “It is no easy task to create a piece of art that is both meaningful and entertaining. I am honored to play a role, alongside Heartland Film, in this award that encourages filmmakers to follow a dream and inspire audiences around the world.”
Come one, come all and join us on Saturday, July 23, to watch the 2022 Award-Winning Shorts, including all three of our Academy Award®-Qualifying short films!
This program will take place outside at the Newfields Amphitheater! Come out early for a fun night of free HotBox pizza, cotton candy, carnival games and more!
Indy Shorts is one of only 34 festivals in the world to have earned the special designation of being a qualifying festival for the Annual Academy Awards® in all three Short Film categories: Live Action, Documentary and Animation.
The three winners of the Indy Shorts Grand Prize for Best Narrative Short, Best Documentary Short and Best Animated Short will qualify for consideration in the Short Film category of the annual Academy Awards®.
Over the years, 32 short films featured at Indy Shorts/HIFF have been nominated with eight going on to win Oscars®!
Weʼre excited to welcome actor Colman Domingo to the 2022 Indy Shorts International Film Festival! Colman will receive our Pioneering Spirit Award, which honors individuals who have embodied Heartland Film's mission; those whose work has inspired conversation, ignited imagination and shifted perspectives.
He directed, wrote, produced and stars in New Moon, as well as executive produced and stars in NORTH STAR. He will attend the post-screening Q&As for both the Coming of Age and Devotion programs as listed below and will receive the Pioneering Spirit Award in-person at the Awards Party.
Colman Domingo has starred in some of the most profound films and TV series in recent years, such as If Beale Street Could Talk, Lincoln, The Butler, Selma, Birth of a Nation, Candyman, Zola, seven seasons of AMC's Fear the Walking Dead, and HBO's Euphoria.
Domingo is a Tony, Sir Lawrence Olivier, Drama Desk, Drama League and NAACP Theatre Award nominated, OBIE and Lucille Lortel Award winning actor, playwright, director and producer, and a two time Film Independent Spirit, Gotham, SAG, Critics Choice and NAACP award nominee.
He will be seen in the upcoming Netflix & Higher Ground film Rustin, slated for 2022, and the Warner Brothers, Oprah Winfrey & Steven Spielberg produced musical motion picture The Color Purple
