Submissions are now open for the Fourth Annual Hillsboro Film Festival, a co-production with Dodge Media Productions and Bag&Baggage!
The Fourth Annual Hillsboro Film Festival will take place April 2-4, 2027, at the Vault Theater.
Submissions will remain open from July 2026 through the very final deadline: January 1, 2027.
All films accepted will be short films; we are looking for films 30 minutes or shorter, in all genres, in the following categories: Narrative, Documentary, Animation, Music Video, and Experimental. Films do not have to be made locally (we've had international submissions in years past), and there are no premiere requirements (it's OK if your film has already screened elsewhere).
EVERYONE is encouraged to submit! Our festival purposefully creates space for voices often underrepresented in the media landscape. Embracing filmmakers of all ages and experience levels, from students to seasoned professionals, The Hillsboro Film Festival encourages individuals to express themselves authentically.
We're also looking for festival volunteers, including folks to be on the 2027 Hillsboro Film Festival Screening Committee — if you're interested in being a part of the film selection process (or helping with any other aspect of the festival), fill out this form!
