Eddy Awards
Gold and Silver Eddy Awards will presented in
Professional, Pro-Am and Student categories for features, shorts,
documentaries, experimental films, and audience choice. We will
also present the Iowa Connection Eddy for the film that best represents
"Iowa."
For us, Eddy has dual meaning. First, it pays
tribute to Thomas Alva Edison who, among other things, was a pioneer
in motion pictures. Second, the noun eddy is defined as “a
current moving contrary to the direction of the main current.”
Independent filmmakers often go against the “current”
of trends in mainstream cinema.
In addition to screenings and awards,
the festival features guest speakers and plenty of networking
opportunities. For full results of each year, see the Festival
Archives Menu in the sidebar.
