About the festival

Eye Myth has spent a long time being born. Named after 9 second film by the emminent filmmaker, Stan Brakhage, Eye Myth is about our passion and love of film.

Eye Myth is a platform for emerging and established artists to have the opportunity to have their work seen by as extensive an audience as possible. We value independent filmmaking, artistic integrity, and, above all, artistic innovation. As such our festival is more geared towards films that may be called "art & experimental" but in the interest of not limiting our goals we also accept non-genre narrative films as well as Video Essays.

Films selected to be screened by Eye Myth will be seen by a live audience.

A note on documentaries:

This festival is NOT accepting documentaries. Video Essays are not documentaries. Please ensure you follow the guidelines laid out herein to avoid having your film disqualified.

If you have any questions about whether or not your film qualifies as a video essay please don't hesitate to email me at lex@eyemythfilm.com

A cash prize will be awarded to Eye Myth's best film.
