The 38th Annual Maine Student Film & Video Festival is accepting submissions for its 2015 competition.

One of the longest running student film festivals in the country, the MSFVF is open to Maine residents 19 years of age and younger currently in grades K-12. The submission deadline is June 1, and there is no entry fee to participate.

Student submissions are judged on the basis of originality, content, style, and technique, and are reviewed by the following divisions: pre-teen, (grades K-6), junior (grades 7-8) and senior (grades 9-12).

Each year the MSFVF selects award winners and finalists whose films are then screened at the festival’s Public Screening & Awards Presentation, which is held in conjunction with the Maine International Film Festival in Waterville.

This year’s screening will be held at 12:30 p.m. July 18, at the Waterville Opera House. 

Past MSFVF winners include Kyle Rankin and Efram Potelle, who went on to work with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon through their Project Greenlight program to produce The Battle of Shaker Heights.
