We're currently hard at work ensuring KHFF is bigger and better in its second year, including plenty of exciting screenings and events both before and during the fest!

GET SHOOTING NOW FOR KHFF 2010

ENTRIES DUE OCTOBER 1

KHFF 2010's categories for submission are as follows:

• LOCAL or REGIONAL SHORT FILMS (max ~25 minutes)

The Knoxville Horror Film Festival was created to showcase local DIY genre filmmakers, and we are glad to again welcome films from all over the Southeast to join in the grisly fun. We aren't picky about production value so long as it's fun to watch.

• TOURING SHORT FILMS (max ~30 minutes)

We were lucky enough to feature several high-profile national and international horror shorts in KHFF '09, and plan to continue helping bring these films to the audience they deserve. Though a number of the films in this category will be hand-selected by the KHFF crew, we are honored to accept submissions as well.

• LOCAL or REGIONAL "SHORT SHORTS" (max 10 minutes)

The shorter the films are, the less time they take to make, and the more we can cram into an evening of KHFF! Brew up a batch of fake blood on a Friday night, grab a camera, and see where the weekend takes you. (Though touring short films meeting the length restrictions are welcome to submit to this category -- and enjoy the reduced submission fee -- award judging for "short shorts" will be limited to works produced in the Southeast.)

• LOCAL or REGIONAL TRAILERS (max 3 minutes, no submission fee)

Is your movie too long? Or not done? Or doesn't actually exist? We are hoping to find the time to toss a few "coming attractions" into the KHFF mix, and are glad to consider any movie trailers that get sent our way. Those chosen will be voted on as part of this year's Audience Awards, with the possibility of a subsequent KHFF-sponsored screening of the film!
