Film Impossible

This is a film competition that runs in conjunction with the Southeastern Film festival, please do not send completed films that were in production before the opening date of the competition or after the close of the competition.

Do not send film prints, master tapes, or other originals. Submitted materials will not be returned to you, but we take great care with your intellectual property and will not archive the material, but use standard practice to recycle it.

Entrant confirms and warrants required legal authority to submit the entry into the Festival and to use all music, images, and content in the entry.   Each winning film will be showcased via our website and the fillmmaker must warrant that they have secured all the rights necessary to make the film.

Entrant will allow usage of clips from the film for promotional use on television, radio, in print, and at live Festival events.

All entries must be either in English or subtitled in English. Non-English entries submitted without subtitles are not eligible.

Works in Progress: While entrants are permitted to submit films that are not fully complete (i.e., without final color correction and sound mixing), please note that the programming committee will only consider the version submitted; subsequent cuts or replacement copies will only be accepted at the request of the programming committee.

Only complete entries (including entry form, payment, and preview DVD screener) will be processed.

Students must include proof of student status at the time of production (i.e., copy of student ID, transcript, etc.). 

The cost of shipping an entry to the Festival must be paid by the entrant. Collect or COD shipments will not be accepted. All international entries must be sent "free domicile" to the Festival office with all transportation charges, duties, and taxes prepaid by the shipper.
