PFF SUBMISSION T&C’s
Pasifika Film Fest programmes film, video, digital & interactive media artworks works made by international artists (directors, producers, screenwriters, designers) of Pacific heritage and of all levels of experience. In programming work for the Festival, PFF strives to represent a diversity of ideas, themes, and genres, in addition to a diversity of Pacific Islander languages, nations, and cultures.
Pasifika Film Fest’s priority and focus is to present media artworks that reflect the artistic vision of a person of Pacific Islander heritage while also providing a space for the artist to have their work presented to the public. Pasifika Film Fest only considers works that meet the following criteria:
For Film & Video Works:
The director, producer or screenwriter is of Pacific heritage;
If the director, producer or screenwriter is not of Pacific heritage, then joint creative positions (co-director, co-writer, co-producer) may also be considered with detailed submission requirements for creative role and decision-making involvement.
PREMIERE STATUS
A premiere status of any kind is not a requirement, but may be a consideration. Due to submission volumes and the limitation of screening slots, Programmers may choose to prioritise a work by an Pacific Islander filmmaker that has not yet had the opportunity of a public presentation at another festival or via other media.
All films must be in English or have English subtitles. Pasifika Film Fest prefers films that have not been broadcast or made available for download in Australia, New Zealand or the USA.
HOW TO SUBMIT
Electronic submissions must be made through Pasifika Film Fest’s, FilmFreeway page. See below for the rules and conditions surrounding submission to Pasifika Film Fest 2020.
