The place to be for filmmakers and film-lovers, The Film Track is a combination of celebrity panels, instructional seminars, and Independent Film screenings. It is is your source for all things cinematic. Do you want to learn to make a film?  Our seminars and panels will cover all aspects of filmmaking from writing and directing to distribution at both an introductory and intermediate level. Want to be a producer?  We've got you covered.  Special effects?  We'll tell you how. Need to learn about hardware? We'll be covering cameras, storage, and so much more. It is like film school, in 4 days.

Of course we're not just about filmmaking.  For the film lover, we'll be discussing cult films, the latest genre works, fan films, and every aspect of short films. And of course, the Film Track is the home of the Dragon*Con Independent Short Film festival. We screen over 80 short films, along with 5 or 6 features over the four days of Dragon*Con. Shorts will be screened in genre blocks, so if you are feeling like some horror, we'll have a block (or 3) for you.  Looking for some original science fiction?  We'll have it.  Fantasy?  Comedy? Animation? Yes, the Film Festival will have all those. This is a juried festival, with awards, including cash prizes, presented on the last day of the event.
