Dakota Digital Film Festival is dedicated to supporting the work of emerging and talented filmmakers and video artists by promoting local video/film production and by expanding awareness of professional careers within the industry. The mission of this festival is to support and encourage film-making and audio/video production in all forms by providing a venue for professionals in the industry and students to meet and show their work. The festival has a day session (production workshops and student films) provided at no charge to students and their teachers and an evening event featuring several unique short films and a chance for the public to interact with the filmmakers.
