Juggling Film Festival
Tuesday, June 25 11:00 PM
Price: $10 – not included in Event Package
It’s a night at the movies as juggling-themed short films make their debut and a winner is chosen by the audience.
Want to participate?
We are looking for juggling-themed films between 5 and 15 minutes in length in the categories of comedy, action, drama, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, musical, parody, or mystery. We’re not looking for juggling trick videos. Instead, we want films with a plot that somehow involve juggling in an important way. The films don’t even have to include juggling but could take place in the juggling community or be about juggling.
Please keep submissions PG-13 or lower in rating. So, if you’re a filmmaker and a juggler, here’s your chance to combine these two arts.
If you have any questions, please contact David Cain at festival2019@juggle.org. Films need to be submitted by May 20th, 2019. Those films selected will then be screened at the IJA Festival on June 25th and a winner will be chosen by the audience. And please remember to not publicly show your film before the festival in order to maintain eligibility.
