Corona virus update:
The 2020 Fish and Wildlife Film Festival will be digitally screened as part of the virtual annual meeting of The Wildlife Society, on September 29th and 30th, 2020. In addition, we are working to develop a digital venue for sharing our festival with the general public during Fall 2020- stay tuned for updates!
The 2021 Festival will likely be held virtually as well, in Spring 2021, but we can't wait to share films in person again as soon as we can do so safely.
--------------------
The University of Idaho Fish & Wildlife Film Festival connects people with nature through film.
Films span a broad array of subjects, in the following categories:
+ Animal behavior and ecology
+ Science and research
+ Wildlife-human connections
+ "Wild Side" submissions (fun, creative, and unusual formats such as music videos, but should still be about wildlife)
The top 3 entries from each of the 4 categories will be awarded prizes, and the top entry, along with the best student (K-graduate school) entries from each category, will be screened at our festival, along with 1 or more longer (10-15 minutes) feature films from professional wildlife film makers (which should be entered as "feature films" when selecting an appropriate category during submission). Top entries will be determined by a panel of judges from the wildlife and creative professions.
