Film Streams is thrilled to announce the launch of a new program dedicated to premiering the work of area filmmakers. From August 6-12, 2010, we’ll present our first Local Filmmakers Showcase, a curated program of films by residents of Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota. A jury of Omaha artists and arts supporters will curate the showcase. Their objective: to create an entertaining, artistically interesting program for audiences while celebrating and providing a new forum for the work of area filmmakers. The finished showcase could be a single feature, a collection of short films, or some combination thereof. Anything’s possible.

For more information and qualifying guidelines, please see our announcement below. If you’re a resident of Nebraska, Iowa or South Dakota and would like to submit a work for consideration, please complete the form below and send with a DVD by May 15, 2010.
