Now accepting submissions for the Fall/Winter 2015 Festival screenings. Our focus is to bring films with heart, and those that challenge the audience to push their comfortable cultural boundaries – to see things from someone else’s perspective. We would like to help filmmakers tell unique, impactful stories.

Films should have been completed after January 2013. Submission is through our listing on FilmFreeway. 

Special consideration is given to filmmakers from Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana, but the festival is open to everyone, including international filmmakers.

More announcements will be posted in the near future. Programming schedule will be posted (albeit, possibly tentative depending on venues) at least 30 days before screenings occur. Q&A sessions with filmmakers are encouraged. Screenings will be held near Minden, Louisiana, The Woodlands, Texas, and Texarkana, Arkansas. Schedule coming soon.

Email or message us on social media for a FEE WAIVER CODE for Family-friendly Features and features about or starring kids! We also have a Fee Waiver for movies made in or by someone in the Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana region. Contact us at submissions@heartofthepines.net
