The Heartland Film Festival has earned the special designation of being a qualifying festival for the Annual Academy Awards® within the Short Films category. This means that the winner of the Grand Prize for Best Narrative Short Film will qualify for consideration in the Short Films category of the Annual Academy Awards® without the standard theatrical run, provided the film otherwise complies with the Academy rules.
The mission of Heartland Film is to inspire filmmakers and audiences through the transformative power of film. We embrace the world, bringing films and filmmakers from around the globe to Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, to honor, share and celebrate film. Since 1991, we have championed national and international independent films, providing a high quality, interactive experience for audiences and filmmakers throughout the year.
