Submissions:
Do NOT send us links to fully download your film. We do not have the capacity to download thousands of films, so make sure your film is available for viewing on Vimeo or YouTube. If the link is private please provide the code along with the submission.
We do NOT accept films that require a screening fee.
In case your film is selected:
If your film is selected you will be asked to send a full HD version of it in an .mp4 format (H.264) through Dropbox or WeTransfer, for us to download.
Hard copies are not required nor accepted.
Films containing dialogue are required to send a working .srt file with synchronized English subtitles. This also stands for films containing dialogues in English. The festival is addressed in a mostly English-speaking audience, but the native language for most of them is not English, so the subtitles are very helpful. Dialogue transcripts are not accepted, the subtitles have to be in .srt form and correctly synchronized.
