July 25th - 27th 2025

Bristol, Vermont

Submit your film.

Submissions are open through May 23rd, 2025 and can be made via link to YouTube, Vimeo or other site.

Guidelines:

  • Videos can be crew or solo projects with a run time of 2-20 mins. Somewhere in between is probably the sweet spot.

  • We are not looking for throw away, Instagram edits but actual projects you have worked on or are still working on.

  • Creativity and originality will go a long way. We’ll be watching a lot of skate films the day of the fest so will be leaning towards projects that are gonna hype folks up.

Gitaskog

is the Abenaki word for
“lake monster”

About Gitaskog

This summer, the Gitaskog Film Festival kicks off in Bristol, Vermont. A celebration of skateboarding and film, Gitaskog is all about bringing skaters, filmmakers, and the larger community together to showcase the art that makes this activity so special.

Filmers are invited to submit any skate video project between now and May 23rd, 2025.

We want to bring together skaters from all over New England and beyond for an unforgettable weekend of camping, skating, river lounging and celebrating in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

The festival’s name is the Abenaki word for the creature that is now known as Champ. The aim is to honor this land and its people with the spirit of this event.

Skateboarding is as wild as the rivers and mountains that surround us, it’s an expression of freedom and community. The videos skaters make are often pure passion projects who’s only purpose is to inspire their friends. We want to see these videos and we want to celebrate this passion!

All profits from this event will go toward the Bristol Skatepark Project, so every clip and every session helps build something bigger. If you show up, this could be a real special event.

Stay tuned for updates on lodging, camping, and event details. For general questions, wanting to volunteer or if you’re a brand or business looking to get involved, reach out using the contact info below.

See you in Bristol!
