$100 Film Festival

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The $100 Film Festival runs each March in Calgary.

Created in 1992 by the Calgary Society of Independent Film Makers, the $100 film festival has always encouraged local film production.

The festival showcases the work of local and regional independent artists working with traditional film. Spanning three days, it showcases the work of local, national and international filmmakers. The festival started as a challenge for filmmakers to a make low budget movie (with Super 8 film) for under $100. In later years, the CSIF changed the rules to allow filmmakers to work with 16 mm film and increased the budget. However, the $100 Film Festival still works to embody the spirit of low-budget film making and has become a popular event in Calgary.
