Festival Theme:  Location!  Location!  Location!

Where tall pine forests meet granite mountain monuments, locations will light up the screen at the first annual Black Hills Film Festival.  Included in the Black Hills Film Festival will be films shot in South Dakota and other locations from filmmakers around the world.   Audiences to this event will see documentary and feature films of all lengths and types -- films they would not typically see in theatre multiplexes but which are juried in to the Festival for their high-quality and interest to all audiences.  Planned activities include a day of educational seminars and panels for independent filmmakers, a student film section and networking opportunities, as well as special appearances by renowned guests (to be announced).

Films will be shown in Hill City and at Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorials.  See schedule of events.
