July 29 - August 1, 2021
2021 Red Cedar Film Festival Is being planned as an in-person screening event.
If you are checking out our prior year schedule, you might notice some duplications from 2020. Due to the cancellation of the in-person 2020 festival, we invited our 2020 filmmakers to include their film in our 2021 festival so they would have the opportunity to screen their film in front of an in-person audience. Those 2020 filmmakers that accepted our invitation have their films included in the screening schedule. Note that only the new 2021 festival entries are in consideration for the 2021 Festival Awards.
To ensure that all have a safe and enjoyable film festival experience, COVID-19 safety protocols, such as masks for unvaccinated individuals and social distancing, will be observed based upon current local, state, and federal requirements and guidance.
