Soul of Southern Film Festival Call for Entries

Indie Memphis is seeking short and feature-length documentaries and narrative films made in the South, about the South, or by Southerners. The Soul of Southern Film Festival, to be held June 14-17, 2001, in Memphis, Tennessee, is the first national film festival and competition to focus exclusively on the expression of Southern culture, themes, and sensibilities through the art of filmmaking.

The Soul of Southern Film Festival will feature a conference cosponsored by the Center for the Study of Southern Culture. Early deadline: February 16, 2001. Late deadline: March 16, 2001. Entry guidelines and forms available on the Web (www.indiememphis.com) or from Natalie Gildea, Executive Director, Indie Memphis, PMB #632, 1910 Madison Avenue, Memphis, TN  38104.
