🦪 How To Submit A Film To A Festival

Watch the submissions. This goes without saying, but there still is an impression among filmmakers that their films are not getting watched, or not getting watched in their entirety. We know most festivals have their films reviewed, at least at the first tier level, by volunteers. Not every film will be appropriate for your festival. If the film is selected, the filmmaker is responsible for providing an HD digital screening copy of the film and all costs related to getting the file to the festival, if any. The Festival will not cover customs fees. We will cover the cost of getting any drives or USB devices back to the filmmaker after the festival. The Toronto International Film Festival ( renamed in 1994) is a huge cultural event that brings a mass of enthusiastic moviegoers to Toronto’s Entertainment District. In 2017, an estimated On Short of the Week, your film takes front page on the top destination for short films where you’ll find thousands (sometimes millions!) of new fans and connect directly with the largest community of short film producers, programmers, and filmmakers. FAST RESPONSE Don’t wait months for an answer. You’ve got plans to make and films to shoot. All submissions that are not 100% complete at that time will be disqualified and you will need to submit again during a subsequent deadline window. We recommend that you wait until your video file is ready to upload or your link is available before you fill out the application. For example, if you know you will be submitting your film for the late CcdBGUv.
