Submit your film

We constantly endeavor to provide a strong platform where independent film makers can showcase their efforts and skills. The majority of films during the 2011 Film Festival will be independent films. A total of 18-22 films will be screened during the film festival.

Selection of films for the 2012 film festival will be done in two rounds. Naturally, early submissions will enjoy an advantage as there will be more open slots to begin with. For this reason we encourage you to submit your film at the earliest possible. This also gives us the opportunity to maximize the marketing and exposure of the selected films.
