Roxie Roz Burlesque is a collective of performers who celebrate the art of the tease in both vintage and contemporary styles embracing all genres of striptease. Our performers are dancers, drag, singers, comedians, poets, actors, film makers, visual artists and beyond. Roxie Roz serves as a conduit it in the arts community and we aim to bring burlesque representation to all creative mediums and forms of philanthropy.
We seek to find the best of independent short films to present at our shows throughout the year ...
"The Roxie Roz Burlesque Show" showcases a whole lotta striptastic performances and late night comedy fun, live music & film. (more traditional format - short films will be screened pre-show)
"The Roxie Roz Burlesque Experience" is an artistic immersive evening featuring burlesque performances alongside song, film, visual storytelling & scripted works. (experimental format - short films will be integrated into the narrative of the show)
3 to 5 films will be selected for each show.

We accept films from every genre, including- but not limited to- drama, horror, comedy, sci-fi, documentary, music video, experimental, student film, etc. The only requirement is that it be GREAT!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING STATUS / NOTIFICATIONS:
1. ANY FILM WE RECEIVE IS ELIGIBLE FOR ANY SCREENING. We have several screenings per year. Ideally our submission period would be open indefinitely, but FilmFreeway requires us to set an end date. Therefore we've made each year a different season. To be clear, the films we receive in a given season (2019 for example), will be eligible for any event we have in 2019, 2020, 2021, etc. Your film is always in contention and does not need to be resubmitted in the next season.
2. THE STATUS OF ALL FILMS WILL BE CHANGED TO "SEMI-FINALIST." FilmFreeway does not allow us to leave the status of a film "undecided" indefinitely. Eventually the system will automatically change the status to "not selected." The only way to prevent this (as suggested to us by the FilmFreeway tech support staff) is to change the status of all the films to "semi-finalist."
TO SUMMARIZE: On the notification date your film's status will be changed to "semi-finalist" in Roxie Roz Burlesque. We ask that you PLEASE DISREGARD any notification you receive regarding this status change. It is not indicative of a decision being made about your film, it's a trick we have to play on the FilmFreeway system in order to make sure your film remains eligible for future screenings. As stated earlier, your film will always be in the running for all our future screenings, but you will receive an email from us if it's selected. If you haven't heard from us, your film has not yet been picked and it is still in contention.
Each film screened will receive exclusive "Official Selection" laurels.
