Heartland Film Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Heartland Film Festival is a film festival held each October[1] in Indianapolis, Indiana[2]. First held in 1992[3], its goal is to "recognize and honor filmmakers whose work explores the human journey by artistically expressing hope and respect for the positive values of life[1]."

[edit] Awards
Its awards include the Crystal Heart Award, for independent filmmakers, and the Jimmy Stewart Memorial Crystal Heart Award, for student filmmakers.[4] Films winning either award (several of each are awarded each year) are screened during the festival, in addition to other films.[4] The festival began awarding a Grand Prize for Best Dramatic Feature in 1999.[3] In 2005, the festival instituted Audience Choice Awards: one each for dramatic feature, documentary feature, and short.[5] Heartland also introduced the Vision Award for best short film that year.[6] In 2006, the festival introduced "official selection" films in addition to the Crystal Heart Award winners. These films are not eligible for the judged prizes, but are eligible for the Audience Choice awards.[7] An award for Best Documentary Feature was also introduced in 2006.[8]
Heartland also recognizes theatrically released films throughout the year with a Truly Moving Picture Award.[9]
