Venues,
Clubs, & Colleges:
We are always looking for new places interested in hosting the Gadabout
Traveling Film Festival. For colleges we are putting together a
program that makes the event more academic. We are willing to come
to classes, or have a time set aside before or after the event for
questions and an open dialogue about indie film. We will also be
bringing along more films that might not have made it into the fest,
and discussing some of the films shown.
HELLO TO ALL. We've finished our Best Of dvd, called "5 Years of Driving Around...And Breaking Down." It's available now, and can be ordered on-line, below.
We have just begun Instant Gratification, our short film screening series here in Bloomington, IN.
Send us any type of short film that you have made. Learn more about Details for the INSTANT GRATIFICATION here.
7TH ANNUAL GADABOUT TRAVELING FILM FESTIVAL
We just got back from our 7th national tour. This year went well. A few downers, but overall a great year. This year we had Kristine Virsis with us showing some of her own prints as well as a print from almost every other Justseed's member. Justseeds is an amazing radical arts cooperative, www.justseeds.org. Thanks again to everyone who helped us, gave us a place to stay, and put on our event. Still in 7 years I am no less surprised and humbled by the generosity of folks all over the country.
As for now, we look ahead. We have a few fun things planned. A few film challenges, some select screenings, and, of course, the 8th annual tour next year.
So, grab your cameras, start writing, shooting, editing!
We are accepting submissions of zines for our distro. Each year it gets pretty picked apart, and we'd love to stock it back up with some new items.

The Gadabout is a nationally touring film festival that screens a program of 20+ international short films. Independent in every sense, these films share the same willingness to challenge the conventions set for filmmaking. The Gadabout is a distribution avenue for truly indie filmmakers that distrust Hollywood and the commercial film festival circuit. We are NOT a competition, rather a celebration of what is possible in independent film and video.
Above all, the Gadabout is super cool. We tour in a van, and show
amazing films to our new friends we get to meet while traveling.
We have completed 5 national tours and have screened the works of filmmakers
from all over the country,
and the world (India, Singapore, Australia, Argentina, Isreal, the
U.K., and more). Independent in every sense, these films share the same willingness
to challenge the conventions set for commercial filmmaking.
This is filmmaking as art, entertainment, and fun.
these are the amazing folks that host our website.
