The Fargo Film Festival is proud to announce the line-up of selections for the annual 2-Minute Movie Contest. Forty-five movies from around the world, representing student, amateur, and professional filmmakers, will be screened at the Fargo Theatre on Friday, March 22, 2019.
Animation, live action, nonfiction, and experimental approaches are just some of the creative and inspiring techniques explored by emerging talent and veteran storytellers.
The winning movie will also be screened during the closing evening showcase on Saturday, March 23. For those unable to attend the screening, the top three films will be announced on this website that same Saturday morning.
The 2019 2-Minute Movie Contest starts at 9:00 p.m. and admission is two dollars. Those attending the previous session, An Evening with Richard Edlund, do not require a separate ticket or additional admission charge.
