We encourage all entries to provide English Subtitles or script in advance so that our juries can evaluate the film precisely.

: We feel sorry that we cannot provide feedback for every entrant. We appreciate every submission and entrants for their effort—however our juries will watch all applicants’ works in the same manner, no matter when applicants submitted the movie. The selection might differ according to the theme of our film festival of that year, so please don’t be discouraged by the result.

𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗲𝗲
: We do not pay rental fees for selected films. Instead, the festival (including our festival staff) will promote your works using the festival’s resources including the film’s social media accounts (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook). Also, the festival recommends your work to related local film festivals of Korea and connect you with them so that your work can be shown to more varied audiences.

𝗙𝗲𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀
: Korea Queer Film Festival is a non-profit organization run with the help of many volunteers, and entry fees that entrants pay will be solely used for keeping our film festival. The festival decided not to provide fee waivers to any entrants to be fair in the submission process. Still, we put a minimum and reasonable amount of entry fee, so we encourage you to submit till the early and official deadline.

𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
: Photos (stills), trailers, clips, 2-3 minutes of footage, any review will be used for the press, advertisement, and any promotion—so please provide as many materials as possible. Materials might be edited by the festival for promotional purposes.

: I have read the Rules & Terms above and agree to follow the instructions of the Korea Queer Film Festival as the entrants.
