The Call for Entries is Now Open!
Categories
You may enter your film in either the feature or short category:
Narrative of Documentary Feature: Anything between 40 and 180 minutes is fair game. We mean it -- any country, any genre, any story. Bring it on!
Narrative or Documentary Short: Short films make up an essential part of our festival, and we will gladly consider every kind of short film imaginable.
Deadlines
The call for entries is now open, and we encourage you to submit your film! Many of us involved with the festival are filmmakers ourselves, and having gone through the festival submission process elsewhere, we know how confusing it can be. So first off, always feel free to contact us with any questions.
We strive to make this process as simple as possible for you, and you'll see we've tried to keep our submission fees as low as possible (after all, we're a not-for-profit entity). The cheapest way to submit your film is to do it quickly -- the submission fee increases the later you submit your film to ensure that we do not receive all the films on the last day. Specifically, the submission fees are:
