ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase is an annual celebration of the area’s current and future filmmaking community. Presented by Cinema St. Louis, this year’s festival features 64 films spread out over ten programs.
All of the works were written, edited, or produced by St. Louis natives or those with strong local ties. In addition to the screenings, this year’s festival includes four Masterclasses and one live podcast recording, which were created to continue their commitment to film education in the St. Louis region. Their Closing Night Awards Party at the Hi-Pointe Theatre will celebrate the best of the festival and provide an opportunity for local filmmakers to network, ensuring connections that will last for years to come.
Tickets for film programs from July 19-21 & 26-28 at the Hi-Pointe Theatre are $15 each; $12 for students with valid and current photo ID and Cinema St. Louis members.
All workshops are free, but registration is required. Tickets may be purchased in advance online at www.cinemastlouis.org. However, student discounts can only be obtained in person at the box office, where ID is required.
