Welcome to the Red Rock Film Festival 2009

Red Rock Film Festival of Zion Canyon is ACTIVE and accepting entries here through Withoutabox and at its site at www.redrockfilmfestival.com.

The festival accepts entries of ALL GENRES from shorts to full-length features, and is held in Southern Utah beneath the majestic red mountains of Zion National Park.

To encourage the independent spirit, Red Rock strives to find a home for all films that qualify in competition. This gives the filmmaker a chance to give their work exposure even if they may not make the festival finals

Welcome to the 2008 Red Rock Film Festival

Last Year, in November of 2007, several film events were held at the same time – an ambitious experiment to bring the art of film to the red rock country of Southern Utah. The film festival in the land of Zion has finally found its niche…

Fans, critics, politicians, scientists, environmentalists and enthusiasts are all welcome, but ART is still going to come FIRST – for without art, there would be no inspiration to solve the world's problems. Let film as art lead.

Mark your calendar and make travel plans for the motion picture arts festival called the Red Rock Film Festival.

Welcome to the Red Rock Film Festival!

Springdale, Utah was originally the location Redford wanted for the Sundance Institute and later the Sundance Film Festival. It took several years and a booming population in Southern Utah to get film enthusiasts to give it a try.

The founders of the Red Rock Film Festival originally began a competition of college shorts in 1991. Later, the festival became Zion Flix, a film series formed as a test run to see who would come to little Springdale, Utah to see new films. The result was a sold out opening and closing night in September 2004. The mini festival opened with Experiment and followed with other films Foxhole, Max: A Cautionary Tale and concluded with Happily Even After.

2005 was a big year when Zion Flix and the Zion Independent Movie Camp joined forces to include more than 70 films. At first it was hard to believe that the festival had as many films as it did for a new film festival. The answer came from the directors who attended and enjoyed their stay in red rock country: location, location, location.

In 2007 the Red Rock Film Festival will showcase works from several film festivals and events in the area: Zion Flix, HorrorFest, Zion Independent Film Festival & Movie Camp (Young Filmmakers,) Dive-In Movie, Z-Arts, Butch Cassidy Film Run and Zion Film Festival.
