MovieMaker Magazine named the Heartland International Film Festival as one of the 25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World for 2023 and is consistently on the 50 Best Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee, including 2023!
“The Midwestern hospitality never stops, and it's complemented by sublime taste. Infectiously enthusiastic artistic director Greg Sorvig is very in-demand as a film festival juror and programmer (he's also a programmer at the Tribeca Festival) and Heartland Film president Michal Ault makes his very complex job look effortless, consistently keeping guests inspired and delighted.” – MovieMaker Magazine
