FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHT
ARTISTS HUB
Our iconic installations are back through Artists Hub, where Theater 1 is transformed into an interactive space designed as a gathering place for creatives to relax, connect, and engage with interactive pieces while waiting for film blocks to begin. The hub will feature a curated selection of installations (including AAPI, Gamu-Gamo, and Shared Affirmations, etc...), all available for attendees to explore, bringing a museum-like atmosphere to the festival grounds.

Eccentric Artists Award
-
Presented to a Nevada filmmaker whose work best embodies what it means to be an “Eccentric Artist.” This award reveres bold, purposeful storytelling in the most unique fashion—narratives that find it difficult to fit neatly into any one box. The Eccentric Artists Award recognizes not only the film’s idiosyncrasies, but the emotional drive of our art.
-
In addition to our categories, we will also reveal who the Audience Award title goes to! Followed by photos taken at Step-and-Repeat.
