I had the chance to speak with John Scott, Festival Director, a few days ago, and he told me this event has been happening now for 8 years. Hundreds of film submissions are narrowed down to the best of the best for your viewing pleasure. There are more and more submissions each and every year.

You can get a ticket for the whole event for just $30 for November 3 through November 10th.  Otherwise you can get a movie pass for just $5.

The St Cloud Film Fest promotes film and filmmakers by creating opportunities for education, production, and appreciation all year long.

THE BLACKBOX

This great local festival takes place over seven days in a historic theatre (this year, The BLACK BOX) on the banks of the Mississippi River.

WORKSHOPS

They hold stop-motion workshops for elementary students and give high-school and college students a chance to make a film as part of a weekend contest.

ARE YOU THE NEXT NEW FILM MAKER?

The crowds are passionate and intelligent about cinema. We'd love the chance to show your film to a new audience. From live action to animation, documentary to experimental all film makers have a place and a voice at this film festival.
