Film Tottenham - London

We want to showcase a variety of films for our audience. This means films from students, first-time filmmakers as well as seasoned filmmakers.

Short films in the drama, horror, thriller, mini-doc and comedy category should be under 16 minutes. Short films in the animation category should be under 10 minutes.

Films must have been released after January 1st 2015.

Any film where English is not the main spoken language should have subtitles in English.

Filmmakers submitting must be 18+ and audience members will also need to be 18+

Maximum of 2 submissions per person.

All film submissions should be made digitally accessible through FilmFreeway and not via hard copy or post.

If you are selected, we will require an mp4 for the screening at no larger than 1.5gb sent to our email address via wetransfer, Google drive or Dropbox within 7 days of notification. We do not accept any other file transfer service. Please also send us a Synopsis for your film along with what certificate you would recommend for your film (e.g 12, 15, 18). This does not have to be an official certificate but just your recommendation as the maker of the work. If selected, you are giving permission for Film Tottenham to screen your film without any charge or fee. Delivery costs (if any) of the screening media must be borne by the applicant or forwarding festival. Screening material will not be returned. We may cancel a selected entry without refund if our rules are not adhered to especially in relation to screening asset deadlines.

Due to the size of our room, we are only able to offer one free pass for one filmmaker per filmmaking team.

We champion accessibility and for films spoken in English we would love you to provide a final film with subtitles if selected, however, this is not mandatory.

Payment is via FilmFreeway.

We may promote filmmakers on our social media channels and website as part of marketing the event. If selected we may ask you for a bio of up to 150 words and a bio photo. We'd love you to take us up on the offer if you choose to.

Time-permitting we may ask you (if you are attending the event) to say a few words about your film to the audience (if you would like to do this).

We are happy for filmmakers to resubmit their film for another one of our events.

We will keep all films, contact details and passwords confidential.

We do not allow any filming at our events but we do allow photography.

By entering your film for consideration, you authorise that your work is cleared for public exhibition and accept full legal responsibility for the intellectual property of the work therein.

Regardless of any prior contact, once you have submitted, if we do not accept your film into our festival then our decision on this is final.

Film Tottenham is run by We are Corporate Ltd.
