Fayetteville Film Fest officials today released the full schedule for the 12th annual event, which will be streamed in an on-demand format in 2020.
This year’s schedule features 11 narrative and documentary feature films, along with 30 short films, panel discussions and Q&A sessions with the filmmakers.
Online screenings will be shown on the Eventive streaming platform, and will premiere on a rolling basis between Nov. 5-8. Films will be available to watch on-demand through Nov. 14.
Advance individual tickets are available on a pay-what-you-can model, including a free option for those unable to contribute. For those who are able, a Friend of the Fest All-Access Pass is also available for $40 which includes a special gift bag that will be delivered to the donor’s door.
The 2020 event will also feature the third annual Fayetteville Film Prize pitch contest, where finalists are given five minutes to pitch their best film idea to a panel of judges made up of industry professionals, with the opportunity to receive feedback. The winner of the contest will receive $2,000 to put toward producing their film. The winner will have 10 months to shoot their film in Northwest Arkansas and the finished film will screen at a future Fayetteville Film Fest.
To purchase tickets or register for the pitch contest, visit fayettevillefilmfest.org.
