CineSalon Experimental Film Festival

Films submitted must be no longer than 15 minutes in length.
While CineSalon takes a broad interpretation of the term 'experimental', conventional narrative or documentary works will not be considered.
By submitting your film, you agree that CineSalon can screen it either as part of an in-person screening or an online programme.
The selection panel's decisions are final and entry fees are non-refundable.
If your film is accepted, failure to respond in a timely manner to communication regarding providing the festival with a screening file of the film may lead to the film being withdrawn from the festival.
Films do not have to have premiere status. While we generally favour films made over the past three years, we are open to considering older works. You may submit as many films as you wish.
All films with non-English language dialogue must have English subtitles.
CineSalon is currently unable to pay screening fees for works submitted. We are unable to grant exceptions to this. The festival is run on a voluntary basis and all entry fees go directly towards covering basic festival costs.
CineSalon reserves the right to use stills or clips of up to 20 seconds from submitted films for publicity purposes.
Ownership and copyright: by submitting a film, you acknowledge that you are sole author and owner of the film, or if you are not the sole author, you have secured all necessary and appropriate rights, permissions and releases in connection with submitting the film.
