Entry Requirements:
Films must be short narratives, experimentals, and documentaries of 20 minutes or less that reveal the complexity and diversity of women, women-identifying and non-binary filmmakers of color that are directed and written by WOC.

Short films that are publicly available online prior to the Festival may be considered for exhibition during the Festival but will be ineligible for Jury Awards. We prefer that shorts not be publicly available online.
Films that are selected to screen at the Festival may not necessarily be selected to be “in competition” for awards purposes. Notifications regarding potential selection for competition status possibly may occur subsequent to notifications of acceptance for the exhibition.
DopeFlix screens films as digital files during the Festival and does NOT screen films on Blu-Ray, HD-CAM, or DCP. If you are unable or unwilling to provide us your film as a digital file for exhibition, DO NOT SUBMIT your film.
Applicants are solely responsible for obtaining all necessary rights and permissions for third-party materials included in their films, including but not limited to music, trademarks, logos, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights. DF expressly disclaims all liability or responsibility for any violations of the foregoing.
