All submitted films will be judged by our panel and shortlisted ahead of the Festival. Only shortlisted films will be screened at the festival event. If your film is not shortlisted, your submission fee is non-refundable.
All films submitted under the category of ‘18 and under’ must be submitted by a filmmaker aged 18 or under. You may be asked to provide proof of your age. Failure to do will result in your film being disqualified.
Films must be no longer than 90 seconds (excluding credits). You may submit multiple films for consideration.
We require all films submitted to have all necessary rights and releases secured before submission, including all music used. We, the festival promoters, are not liable for any copyright infringements or unauthorized usage and any conflict should be settled by the parties involved thereof. You, the filmmaker, are solely responsible for any claim involving copyright, trademark, credits, and publicity.
Please enable 'festival downloads' in your film’s privacy settings. Failure to send your film when requested will result in disqualification.
We cannot issue fee waivers for any entries. Any request will be ignored.
We are unable to refund submission fees once your film has been submitted. Please ensure that your film is ready to submit before doing so.
If your film is shortlisted, we require a poster and a brief synopsis to include in the festival marketing. All films submitted agree that the festival organisers may use their film/poster/synopsis for the promotion of future events with full credit given.
There is no premiere status requirement.
All films submitted must be free of charge for audiences to view.
All decisions made by the judges are final, and cannot be contested.
