HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR FILM
GENERAL
Cosmic Rays screens non-commercial short films that broaden the idea of film as art. We are looking for work that experiments with the formal possibilities of film and video; that explores hybrid forms and the hard-to-describe spaces between filmmaking modes and genres; that speaks with a personal or poetic voice, or explores novel ways of telling stories; that eschews convention and commerce; and that expands our sense of what film is and what it can be.
ELIGIBILITY & DEADLINE
Cosmic Rays accepts films that are 15 minutes or less completed after Jan. 1st, 2021. There is a $8.00 submission fee. Please note: films over 15:00 minutes will not be considered for the program. Deadline for submissions is Jan 1st, 2023.
SCREENING COPIES
To submit a film, please provide a password protected streaming link (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.). Your link and password should be available and valid until April 1st, 2023. We cannot accept DVD screening copies.
SELECTION RESULTS
Selection results will be published on March 1st, 2023 on the festival website.
