Hurry to the post office!!! You still have a chance to get your film to the 2011 Talking Pictures Festival!

What we’re looking for…
We seek films that are thought-provoking, intriguing, entertaining, vibrant, authentic, artful and informative.

All genres, styles and lengths welcome! Cash awards for winning film entries.

Connecting with the audience…
True to its name, screenings at The Talking Pictures Festival foster a lively dialogue between filmmakers and audience members and get the community involved.
“What a wonderful experience the Talking Pictures Festival was! It totally lived up to its name… The shared experience of a film, and then being able to discuss it right away with a group is so important. This was really why I made the film – as a catalyst for discussion, challenging people to ask difficult questions.”
-Laura Israel, Director: WINDFALL
