Thanks to a grant from the NYS Council on the Arts and the consistent support of the Cattaraugus County Arts Council, we’re happy to announce (drum roll please)…

FILM FESTIVAL, 2010!

Whether you’re young in years or young at heart, Pfeiffer Nature Center’s Film Festival wants to see what’s in YOUR viewfinder. Take still photos or video, create animation or shoot reality, make it pretty or edgy. All we want is your interpretation of this year’s theme: My Backyard. Be as expansive or as narrow as you’d like within that theme.

Download a flyer suitable for posting, submission guidelines, and an entry form. Tell everyone in your art class, your photo club, or your neighborhood about it, and challenge them all to submit. It’s fun, it’s easy, and it’s free.

Check out some of last year’s winners on YouTube.

Don’t wait – go take some pictures!

Do Nature Shots

Fritillary on Echinacea

By nature shots we don’t mean anything like jello shots.

Instead, point your camera at all things natural. Shoot video or stills. Edit and organize your work, and submit it into our third annual Pfeiffer Nature Center Film Festival!

Puff Balls

We’re looking for amateur photography buffs (regardless of whether you take your pictures in the buff) to submit short videos or automated PowerPoint presentations. And we do mean short – from 30 seconds to five minutes. Give us your interpretation of this year’s theme: naturescapes. You can use new photos, or pix you took years ago.

Mama Bear & Cubs

The guidelines are simple, and there’s no entry fee, so there’s no reason not to enter!

The deadline is approaching, but you still have four weeks to get your entry in.

Grab your camera and get outside!
