The Phantoscope Indiana High School Film Festival
Are you making films in class? In your basement? On the street? With your
friends? By yourself? With your dog? Have you ever had to beg your mom or dad to be in
one of your films? Bribed your little brother or sister? Yeah, we're talking to you.
Phantoscope is especially for budding filmmakers who are enrolled in high school and live in the Hoosier State. Phantoscope shows a juried program of films each year and features a panel discussion with area industry professionals, along with cash and other prizes.
This year, we’ll award a $500 top prize, and we’ll also be giving away tickets to the Indianapolis International Film Festival. And, as an added bonus, the IIFF is going to screen the top five films from Phantoscope on Saturday, April 26, 2008.2008 Festival Information:
