NEW! Updated September 23, 2011 — It's that time of year again! The Roslyn Film Festival Committee is once again seeking your original short film submissions for screening during our 6th Annual Roslyn Film Festival. Regardless of your experience as a filmmaker—pro, semi-pro, amateur, or hobbyist—the Roslyn Film Festival is one of our community's most popular events, and a great way to get your work seen by a live audience. We encourage you to submit your film today! This year's screening will take place on Saturday, March 31, 2012. The early entry fee is only $15 for submissions received by February 1, 2012. (The standard entry fee is $25 for all films submitted from Feb 2 until March 1, 2012.) Proceeds from the entry fees, ticket cost, and sales of raffle tickets and concessions at the event benefit the Roslyn Volunteer Fire Department. All submitted films will be viewed by a selection committee, and films selected for screening will be voted on by the audience, with prizes for the top 3 audience favorites.

The Roslyn Film Festival Committee would like to extend thanks to all of the filmmakers and everyone who attended the 2011 Roslyn Film Festival on March 26th. We expected this year to be a huge hit and it certainly did not disappoint!

Next year's festival will be held Saturday, March 31, 2011. If you missed it this year, we hope to see you then!

The Roslyn Film Festival began in 2007 and has been one of the most popular and successful events in our community.  For those of you who might have missed it, you’ll have to watch for it this year.  Everyone who attended had so much fun watching quality films, and then playing film critic by choosing the winning entries.

I want to thank all of the filmmakers who entered their short films into the contests between 2007 and 2011.  Several of them also attend the festival, driving in from outside our region, and were willing to answer questions about their productions while we counted ballots to choose the winners.

Adding community-building events is a very important and exciting part to the revitalization of Roslyn. The next scheduled event produced by the Roslyn Events Committee will be this year's Film Festival on March 31, 2012.  If you are interested in more information, volunteering or being a vendor, please contact me at (215) 517-7502 or email info@roslynfilmfestival.com. Again, I want to thank everyone who made the 1st and 2nd Annual Roslyn Film Festival huge successes, and am looking forward to another great sequel this year!

Sincerely,
Lori Schreiber
Abington Township Commissioner–Ward 14
