As the only experimental film festival in New England, H.E.F.F. 2015 (September 18-20) proudly returns to Haverhill, Massachusetts for a third consecutive year. We welcome the abstract, the riveting, the beautiful, the rugged, the emotional, the bold, the raw. We welcome films that tear through tradition and break boundaries with finesse. Most of all, we welcome your idea of experimental.

H.E.F.F. 2015 will be a three day experimental film extravaganza. Our goal is to take over the downtown River Arts District of Haverhill with an entirely free festival to continue to expose experimental film to the community. To close up the fest, a hand-selected slate of films in competition will be chosen by the directors and taken on the road for a festival tour down I-95 hitting as many major stops as possible.

Dates:
Saturday, April 11, 2015 (All day)

Sight Unseen hosts H.E.F.F. on 95

Sight Unseen is pleased to host H.E.F.F. on 95, a curatorial venture down Interstate 95 showcasing the winning films of the 2014 Haverhill Experimental Film Festival. This endeavor gives the opportunity for filmmakers to screen their artwork in multiple venues hitting major stops that include Manhattan, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond, and ending in Durham, North Carolina.

The roughly 1.5 hour program will feature contemporary work in avant-garde cinema at a national and international level. It will highlight various films from abstract home VHS distortion flicks to 16mm direct animation works to experimental documentaries.

This tour and festival itself hope to extinguish the Hollywood standard of the moving image by showing major cities an idea of what this art form can accomplish: a true, purer method of capturing reality.

Dates:
Monday, June 9, 2014 - 19:30
Venue:
The Crown - Baltimore, United States
Haverhill Experimental Film Festival 2014

By Marcos Ortega on Sun, 06/10/2013 - 12:00

The second annual Haverhill Experimental Film Festival has just opened the call for entries. For the inaugural year, we had 200 submissions from around the world and chose 45 films. Each of the five screenings had a packed house of 60 people or more, including seven filmmakers in attendance. We are expanding the Massachusetts-based festival from two to three days (now seven total screenings), including five more awards, as well as taking those winners on a festival tour down I-95 starting in Boston and ending in Raleigh. $15 entry fee plus $5 for additional entries. 40-minute max runtime. Exhibition format includes Super 8mm, 16mm, and Quicktime. We are looking for films/videos that break boundaries and tear through tradition with elegance- works of art not particularly suited for a museum or gallery, but for a screening room. Check out the new website layout, online submission form, and mobile site. Online submissions strongly encouraged.
