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.
Please submit your entries (via a file sharing service or an unlisted video link) to David Cain at festival2019@juggle.org. Films need to be submitted by June 3rd, 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.
Game Show Night
Friday, June 28 7:30 PM
Price: $5 – Not Included in Event Package
What do the Passing Zone, Matan Presberg, Taylor Glenn, Zac McAllister, Shivalla Schwab, Scott Cain, Sofia Noethe, Ben Hestness, Chuck Clark, Brian Koenig, and Nathan Wakefield all have in common? They will all be a part of the first ever IJA Game Show Night. And if you’re lucky enough to be chosen, you could be a part of the fun as well, but you have to be in the audience for that to happen. Don’t miss out on this brand new event.
