The Deadline to submit SHORTS in ALL categories is May 8th.
ARTIST TRANSPORTATION:
OUTSOUTH Queer Film Festival does NOT pay for artist travel such as per diems, airfare, train, hotel, etc. We also do not coordinate travel arrangements with International Cultural Agencies. Please do not ask. If your film is accepted, all transportation and lodging is 100% the responsibility of the artist, including all travel arrangements.
RENTAL OR SCREENING FEES:
OUTSOUTH does NOT pay rental or screening fees for films.
OUTSOUTH is seeking new narrative and documentary feature films that have NOT yet been released (or planned to be released) on Netflix, DVD/Blu-ray, or other pay services prior to Monday, August 20th, the first day after the end of festival. VOD is acceptable. (If your feature film is ONLY available for purchase on your website but NOT on any other service such as Amazon, etc., it is indeed eligible.)
Short films that are available on YouTube, Vimeo or other media services are indeed eligible.
OUTSOUTH Queer Film Festival does NOT accept music videos or similar.
EXHIBITION FORMATS:
If your FEATURE FILM (55+ min) is ACCEPTED, you MUST provide OUTSOUTH with a Blu-ray or DVD exhibition copy. We do NOT accept video/digital files for features.
If you cannot provide a Blu-ray or DVD, please do NOT submit. (This is especially important for International films!)
If your SHORT FILM (1-54 min) is ACCEPTED, you may provide OUTSOUTH with either a Blu-ray, DVD or video/digital files. Files must be in .mp4, Apple ProRes, .mov, .avi, or .wmv formats.
