Frame Rush

If you have submitted previously, remember that the festival team changes every year!

• Live recordings of performances not permitted
• Student Films accepted
• Films must be between 1-16 minutes in length
• Two-thirds of our submissions in the past have come from the UK and the US. We highly encourage submissions from outside these regions as our aim is to create an international festival.
• If you need a waiver for the submission fee please contact us by email
• You may resubmit films that have not been screened at Frame Rush previously. The artistic leadership of the festival changes every year, and with it the selection panel and criteria.
• The artist, if selected, agrees to provide festival organisers with marketing materials, information and video files in the requested formats by given deadlines; the artist understands they are liable for any costs incurred and that failure to provide the necessary materials may result in their withdrawal from the programme.
• If your film has dialogue, subtitles in English should be available in time for the preparation of the screening file
• We encourage you to think about the accessibility of your film in regards to viewers with visual or auditory impairments, and what materials you could provide- ie. closed captioning.
• Submission of an entry gives Frame Rush and its presenters permission to have excerpts of accepted work, including film trailers, shown in all promotional activities related to the festival.
• You acknowledge that by submitting your film to the festival, that if selected, Frame Rush may include the film in the London Contemporary Dance School archive
• The artist takes full responsibility for the work and in submitting it asserts that it contains no copyright infringements, and indemnifies Frame Rush, The Place, LCDS and its representatives against any request or legal action from third parties related to or arising from the use of the film.
