About this Event

The AmAuteur Film Festival is a brand-new, genre-expansive, all-inclusive, community-oriented film festival with a focus on the new film underground. Our mission is one for the outcasts, the weirdos, the misfits, the ambitious, and the tragically underestimated pioneers of modern film language.

We’re getting back to the roots of what a festival should represent: not a competition awarding the aesthetic marvels that cost an entire year’s rent to produce, but a pure and simple time of celebration. We’re here to showcase those unique and creative filmmakers redefining the medium while having access to fewer resources, less money, less time, and/or little experience.

The festival is proud to present over 4 hours of short films across 3 screening blocks, spanning a variety of genres, origins, and mediums. Join us for a celebration of fervently independent creativity, where you'll be able to enjoy great short films from across the globe while meeting friends (/collaborators?) old and new... oh, and there will be free food.

We hope to see you there!
