Terms & Conditions:
Fringe! is a not-for-profit public festival run entirely by volunteers. We do not pay screening fees and try to make as many screenings as possible free for the community.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
Fringe! is specifically interested in films created by AND about gay, lesbian, bisexual, ace, pansexual, queer, trans, non-binary, intersex, genderqueer and two-spirit people.
We do not have any restrictions on runtime, type or genre of film, but we do NOT currently have a VR category.
YEAR OF COMPLETION:
Films must have been completed within the past 3 years before the festival screening (so, your film must have been completed on or after September 2022).
PREMIERE STATUS:
We do NOT have any premiere status requirements, and it's fine if your film is online as long as screening rights are still available. However, priority is often given to works which have not recently reached large scale audiences in London.
WHAT TO SEND:
Online screeners only - no DVDs, hard drives, or other physical formats please.
We are only interested in your film itself for submission, and request that no additional publicity materials be sent during the submission period.
All submissions must be made by providing an online screener and must have English subtitles if not in English language.
Works-in-progress are accepted, but please make this clear in the title.
Trailers will not be accepted as submissions.
FEE WAIVERS:
We are happy to provide fee waivers before the regular deadline if you need one in order to be able to submit your film.
Please contact us on submit@fringefilmfest.com
with "fee waiver / Film Title" in the subject line. Then tell us:
- the title and runtime of your film
- a brief synopsis, making it clear that it is a queer film
- a little bit about your circumstances/why you need an fee waiver
