ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

Standing Rock Cultural Arts is pleased to announce The 10th Annual Standing Rock International Short Film Festival. This popular annual event becomes even bigger this year with films from as far away as France, Argentina, and Japan and from as close as Kent, Ohio. It will include animation, music videos, short comedy, experimental films, documentaries and more.
The first part of this event will feature short films from around the world. The second part will be made up of films by last year’s People’s Choice winners Jamie Stone and Anders Jedenfors. The last portion of the night will feature silent films by Dustin Grella and Mike Hovancsek which will be accompanied live on stage by Mike Hovancsek (koto, balafon), Joe Culley(tabla) and Samuel Salsbury (violin)!
