Heartland Film reviews thousands of film submissions for HIFF and Indy Shorts every year! Our volunteer screening committees’ primary task is to thoughtfully view and identify films of interest to the Heartland Film programming staff. The Heartland Film programming staff carefully selects applicants based on their knowledge and interest in film and their strength in writing and film evaluation. All volunteer screeners are required to go through an application process. Please note, this committee is not for the casual movie watcher. Volunteer Screeners are required to view a minimum of six feature films biweekly (3 per week) or 28 shorts biweekly (14 per week).
