East Lansing Film Festival

About me:

The East Lansing Film Festival (ELFF) is the largest and most diverse film festival in Michigan and screens more than 100 independent and foreign feature, documentary, short and student films from around the world.

ELFF was created in 1997 in cooperation with the City of East Lansing and Michigan State University. Since then ELFF has been dedicated to bringing quality foreign and independent films to Michigan in order to expose our audience to diverse cultures, ideas, and creative works.

The 13th annual East Lansing Film Festival will take place October 20-28, 2010.

ELFF is proud to host the Lake Michigan Film Competition (LMFC). This competition gives cash awards to filmmakers whose film was at least 1/4 shot, produced or financed in the states that border Lake Michigan: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

The categories for the awards are Feature, Documentary, Short Film and Student Film. We are very pleased to offer the Message Makers Most Promising Student Filmmaker Award, a prize package worth $10,000.
