About Us

Black Hills Film FestivalMillions of people from all over the world come to the Black Hills of South Dakota to see the sights, from Mt. Rushmore, to Deadwood and the Badlands – and now the Black Hills Film Festival provides a window for the area to revel in film creations from across the globe.

Not only does the festival showcase the newest voices in independent film, but it also provides structured classes and forums for film artists to sharpen their craft and share their skill.

Classes are taught by notable film professionals and are free to participating filmmakers!  In its second year, the festival is aggressively expanding and hungry for films – docs, narrative features and shorts alike.

Each festival category is awarded a $500 cash price, and a beautiful bronze sculpture.

All participating filmmakers are given two full festival VIP passes and access to all parties for great networking opportunities.
