The Minneapolis Riverfront Partnership would like to extend its warm thanks to each of the entrants in the 2014 Mississippi Minute Film Festival! We’ve been so lucky to have a wide range of talent, interest, and entries that each warrant a viewing (or more!).

The winners are listed and shown here, by category (all film entries may be seen at this link). All winners – with the exception of the viewer’s choice award – were determined by a five-judge panel, which included: Jesse Bishop (Programming Manager, Film Society of Minneapolis Saint Paul), Brian Heywood (Executive Director, the Soap Factory), Brenda Langton (Owner, Spoonriver Restaurant), Sara McKenzie (Editor, the Journal Newspaper), and Tom Meyer (Founding partner, MSR Architects).

You can also browse an alphabetical list of all 17 film entries we received.

Relax, and enjoy a range of compelling perspectives on the Mississippi River!
