The 2012 Ruby Mountain Film Festival will take place in Elko, Nevada on September 27-30th.
RMFF presents approximately 60 films, several panels, an Opening Night Gala, Awards Ceremony and many other special events over the course of the 4 day festival. Set right in the heart of Cowboy Country and against the majestic backdrop of the Ruby Mountains, Elko plays host to filmmakers, distributors, and film enthusiasts from around the world. Festival guests come to view films in a wide range of genres but stay to experience rural Nevada's unique brand of hospitality.
After experiencing a full slate of films and panels, filmmakers are invited to participate in exclusive events, including guided tours of the area and the much anticipated midnight poker game.
Juried Best of Fest Awards will be given in the feature film, documentary, documentary short, short film, student film, and animation categories. Audience Awards will be awarded for other screening blocks selected from all submissions by programmers. All awards will be given to those in attendance at the Closing Night Awards Ceremony and mailed to those who are not in attendance.
The preferred method of submission is through www.withoutabox.com. Filmmakers are able to submit films online, upload press kits, and experience a significant discount on entry fees by using withoutabox.
