The Big Bear Lake International Film Festival is a non-profit organization dedicated to
showcasing the emerging talent of screenwriters and independent
filmmakers within the idyllic setting of Big Bear Lake. Our goal is to
nurture a festival, which is highly creative, filmmaker friendly and
which provides an educational experience for those people interested in
all aspects of the film industry.
The
festival screens independent feature films, short films, student films,
high school student films, documentaries, animation and family films.
Jury and Audience Awards are given in each category in addition to a
Student Cinematography Award.
Each year there is a special
sidebar or cultural showcase. We also hold a screenwriting competition
with agents, managers and producers as jurors in addition to seminars
during the Festival.
The
festival has a film industry presence with film & screenwriting
jurors in attendance and participating on the popular
screenwriting/filmmaker panel discussion on Saturday morning.
We also offer a pitchfest on Sunday morning.
