Offscreen Notes
Befilm: The Underground Film festival
“Now in its fourth year and on its way to becoming one of the largest short film festivals on the East Coast, BEFILM has quickly garnered the reputation of showcasing the world’s finest live action (narrative, documentary, experimental) and animated shorts. Focusing on the belief that “shorter is better”, BEFILM provides a cultural and entertaining forum that recognizes and honors independent, emerging, and established filmmakers. Selected from over 500 submissions from around the world, the competition films are distinguished by genre, not country, and a panel of judges from the entertainment industry reviews the films and selects the winners. First-time and well-established filmmakers screen side by side in an environment designed to support creativity.”
