Film Festivals
The festival exhibits
films from all over the globe. The first annual festival was in May 2004 and sponsored by Time
Warner Cable. It was held at the beautiful Madrid Theater which has 500

MISSION & OBJECTIVE
The West Virginia Filmmaker Festival is a dedicated to the promotion of WV Filmmakers and Video Artists by the exhibition of films which exemplify the West Virginia spirit of independence. We strive to give forum to the Mountain State's best and most inventive new video artists while promoting the state to filmmakers outside of West Virginia.
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The West Virginia FIlmmakers Festival is the original Film Festival dedicated to films by and for West Virginia. Held every fall in beautiful Sutton, West Virginia, the festival has showcased the best and brightest filmmakers from the Mountain State, and beyond. The First Festival was held in the spring of 2001 showcasing some of West Virginia's best filmmakers at the Landmark Studio for the Arts in Historic Sutton, West Virgina. In 2010 The West Virginia Filmmaker's Guild took over production of the festival.
The WVFF focuses on creating a communal atmosphere between the makers, students, and audiences of their films. We make our filmmakers our top priority by encouraging feedback, networking and workshops among the filmmakers. Filmmakers should leave our weekend with a myriad of new friends and collaborators
Cash prizes are given in the categories of: Best Student Film, Best Narrative Short, Best Experimental/Music Video/Animation, Best Documentary Short, Best Documentary Feature, Best Narrative Feature, and Best Film. Additionally, the festival annually awards the WV Filmmaker of the Year award to the individual whose work has had the biggest impact on WV filmmaking during that calendar year.
Focuses on limited released foreign and domestic features (35mm only) as well as short films, comprising a variety of genres. Filmmakers, distributors, producers, animators, screenwriters, scholars, and journalists appear as guests.
The mission of the WCFF is to encourage and support the work of independent filmmakers and screenwriters. We have a particular interest in screening the work of students and first time filmmakers. Local, national and international films accepted.

Westwood remains the capital of the single-screen palace theatre and no theatre in the area represents the spirit of independent cinema like the Majestic Crest. Please join us in bridging the gap between independent film and independent cinema.
Wet West Film Festival celebrates water in all its forms, and uses film to tell stories of lives and environments affected by water. Annually calling for digital tales told around the sea, rivers, ice, snow, rain - anywhere water affects lives.
The What? Film Festival! is a subterranean bacchanal of audio-visual delights. In other words, it’s a weekend of irregular Music and skewed Movies in an unusual atmosphere.
Did we mention that there is NO ENTRY FEE?
