About the festival

Welcome to Fear No Film 2020! Fear No Film, in essence, means fear no filmMAKER nor filmmaker vision.

This is a very unique festival that screens a wide variety of short films in context-rich, thematic screenings to a really film-savvy and appreciative, art-loving audience.

And, film is just one of 50+ art forms happening simultaneously. The Utah Arts Festival is one of the largest, most culturally rich artistic showcases in the western United States. The works celebrated at the festival stretch well beyond the borders of Utah, exposing over 70,000 festival-goers to a diverse collection of contemporary yet traditional, challenging yet accessible, thought provoking yet fun range of works over four frenetic days every June. 

The Fear No Film Festival aims to celebrate a similar range of artistic excellence. Over 60 international short films will be screened with non-cash awards awarded by a Grand Jury, the Utah Arts Festival, and by an audience vote.

Non-cash, Grand Jury awards include the "2020 Utah Short Film of the Year," "Fear No Film Grand Jury Prize," "Fear No Filmmaker Award," and 3 Honorable Mentions.

Non-cash Audience Awards are awarded to six filmmakers and may include categories such as Best Narrative, Best Documentary, Best KIDS! Film, etc.

YOU GET THE IDEA. This is an extremely filmmaker friendly festival with an award system that awards individual accomplishments and key themes in your film via audience and a Grand Jury vote.

Terms and rules

Fear No Film Festival (FNF) is a unique short film festival which is part of the greater Utah Arts Festival (UAF). Film is one of dozens of artistic mediums happening simultaneously. Film screenings are shorter than stand-alone film festivals, and we do NOT have Q and A's after our screenings. The Utah Arts Festival is a blast, by the way.

FNF accepts short films and videos of any genre regardless of the year of production.
