GREENFIELD — The LAVA Center at 324 Main St. is accepting submissions from Massachusetts filmmakers for the fourth annual LAVA Film Festival, a showcase of Massachusetts filmmaking talent, from students to professionals and everyone in between.
The festival will take place Oct. 11 to Oct. 13 at The LAVA Center. The early bird registration deadline is Sunday, July 21, with a fee of $6.50 for adults, and the regular deadline is Sunday, Aug. 11, with an $11 fee for adults. Youth under the age of 18 can submit their films for free by either deadline.
However, Pioneer Valley filmmakers can submit for free by getting a promo code to waive the entry fee. Email info@thelavacenter.org and state your town of residence.
Films must be made by current residents of Massachusetts. Films and videos of any length, any subject and any style will be accepted, but they must be creative projects in their own right, as opposed to live events or performances filmed for documentation purposes. Filmmakers may be asked to rate their accepted submissions using MPAA guidelines so The LAVA Center can include suggested age ranges in publicity and program introductions.
Submissions will be accepted through FilmFreeway at filmfreeway.com/LAVAFilmFestival.
