The films we select and exhibit – whether they inspire conversation, ignite imagination, or shift perspectives – all have one thing in common: they are entertaining films that do more than just entertain. Over the years, we have presented $3.5 million in cash prizes – the largest total amount awarded by any film festival in North America – presented 200+ studio films with the Truly Moving Picture Award, and showcased more than 2,000 films, including nine Oscar®-winning short films. Heartland Film is the preeminent destination for connecting audiences and filmmakers to experience transformative film.
