Set in historic downtown Fostoria, Ohio, the 1st Annual Northwest Ohio Historic Film Festival will bring history to the big screen. In conjunction with Fostoria Area Historical Society, the festival will showcase filmmakers from around the world with films that theme around history and historic events.
Accompanying the festival will be a Farmer's Market, Car Show, Antique Show, and local entertainment in the day long event. The film festival is set in the newly renovated Fostoria Learning Center. The festival will feature a 20 foot wide theater screen with a dynamic digital sound system.
We are currently accepting student films, documentaries, short films, and feature films. This includes any film set in a time period before 1989. We welcome all genres of films. The festival is family oriented so we will not be showing films with nudity or heavy language. The rule on language is no F bombs.
All proceeds generated by the Northwest Ohio Historic Film Festival will go to benefit the Fostoria Area Historical Society.
All filmmakers accepted will receive two VIP tickets to the event. Awards will be given in the following categories:
Best Narrative Film
Best Documentary
Best Ohio Film
Best Cinematography
Best Original Score
