Yes. We accept films that have played at other festivals or online — as long as you retain screening rights for this event.
+Do I need to attend in person?
We strongly encourage it. Part of the point is you meeting your audience and other filmmakers. If travel isn't possible, let us know when you accept the invitation.
+How many guests can I invite?
Every accepted creator gets a guest allocation. You can also purchase additional tickets at a creator-guest rate.
+What happens after I submit?
Our curation team reviews every submission. You'll be notified with a status update within three weeks of the submission deadline.
