Mirror Mountain Film Festival is now seeking proposals from musicians and filmmakers in the Ottawa-Gatineau region who want to get involved in one of the annual highlights of the festival: a live performance that combines music and film projections. Deadline to apply is February 15th 2019. For more information, check out the Call for Proposals page.
Introducing our special guest jury for 2018-19! Tyler Byrnes (New York), Anne Koizumi (Montreal), Lisa Jodoin (Fredericton) and Anna Swanson (Portland) are gifted filmmakers, working in drama, documentary, animation and experimental film. They are also all Mirror Mountain Film Festival alumni whose work was screened in previous editions of our festival!
From September 19th – 28th, filmmakers can get 10% off film submissions to Mirror Mountain on FilmFreeway! The discount can be used for Short, Medium-length, and Feature-length entries. Enter the discount code MIRRORMOUNTAIN2018 on our FilmFreeway page.
Mirror Mountain is now accepting film submissions of all kinds for our next festival, which will be held July 26th – 27th 2019. Head over to our submissions page for more info!
Special announcement!
Because there isn’t enough preparation time between now and this July to make this happen for 2018, we’ve therefore decided to delay the next edition of Mirror Mountain until July 26th & 27th, 2019.
This gives us a longer lead time to prepare, which will help us make the next festival even more great and special! We look forward to celebrating the best in independent cinema with you all in 2019. Watch this space for more announcements coming up soon, including opening dates for film submissions!
