CONCORD – The New Hampshire Film and Television Office is accepting submissions for the 2014 New Hampshire High School Short Film Festival.

All submissions must be postmarked by March 31 or arrive at the Film and Television Office at 19 Pillsbury St. by 4 p.m. on that date.

The festival was created in 2007. It’s open to students in grades 9-12 at New Hampshire public or private high schools; home-schooled students ages 14–18 are also eligible.

Submissions do not have to have been created as part of a school project and there is no entry fee. To be considered, a film cannot be longer than seven minutes, including titles and credits.

A panel of judges made up of New Hampshire film industry professionals will review submissions. Select films will be shown at the festival, which will take place at Red River Theatres in Concord starting at noon Saturday, May 24.

Winning films will also be screened on New Hampshire Day and Night at the New Hampshire Film Festival in Portsmouth in October, the SNOB (Somewhat North of Boston) Film Festival in Concord in November and the Monadnock International Film Festival in Keene in April 2015.
