Missoula, Montana - Several months removed from an epic 10th anniversary event, the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival is officially open for business.  BSDFF is now seeking submissions of non-fiction films of all genres, subject matter, lengths and production dates for the next festival which will be held February 14th - 23rd, 2014.

Feature films:

BBVA Foundation Award for best film worth € 1.500  and statuette
