FFF 13 Counts Down to the 2-Minute Movie Contest

FFF13Octopusvintage1

The Fargo Film Festival’s popular 2-Minute Movie Contest returns tonight, Friday, March 8, beginning at 9:30pm at the Fargo Theatre.

Admission is two dollars.

More than forty very short movies will be screened and judged this year, and the winner will have the honor of being shown during the festival’s closing night session on Saturday, March 9, 2013.

From parodies to fantasies, the 2-Minute Movie Contest showcases a wide range of content in a program where anything can – and often does – show up on the screen. You might cringe, you may roll your eyes once or twice, and you’ll almost certainly laugh at some of the movie snapshots on parade. Remember our motto: if you don’t like the movie on the screen, just wait two minutes and there will be something else to see.

FAIR WARNING: The 2-Minute Movie Contest may feature adult material, including some profanity and violent and sexual content that would typically be rated R and NC-17. Viewer discretion is advised.
