The EMFF is now seeking film submissions for
the 2009 festival.
We are delighted to announce that there will be a £250 prize
for the Tiso 'Best Film' Award, as judged by our panel of experts. There
will also be a £150 prize for the Alien Rock Best Climbing Film
and a £50 prize for the Go Fast People's Choice Award.
The closing date
for entries for EMFF 2009 is 30 June 2009. Early entries
are always appreciated!
Films can focus on any aspect of mountain life
and culture, wilderness and adventure, and can be documentary or fiction.
We are especially interested in films focussing on all forms of climbing
(particularly deep water soloing and big mountain climbing in the greater
ranges), snowboarding, skiing, snowblading, mountain biking, BASE jumping,
kayaking, surfing, BMX-ing, canoeing ... the list goes on.
Films do not need to be high budget action films! Any film depicting
the adventure and spirit of the mountains or of nature will be considered.
All films selected for screening are automatically entered into the
competition for the 'Best Film Award'.
The 2008 festival offered the strongest line-up of films yet. Over 80
films were submitted, with entries coming from as far away as Alaska,
Bhutan and South Africa, as well as Aviemore, East Lothian and Leith.

minutes long although exceptional longer films will be considered. There
is no minimum length for films. Films on all formats are accepted although
copies should be submitted on VHS or DVD for the initial selection process.
