Conditions for Eligibility:
This is a competitive, curated event, and submission does not guarantee an invitation.
All films must fulfill the following requirements:
1) Be relevant to LGBTQ audiences.
2) Be fully completed by entry deadline (NO works-in-progress).
3) Be a St. Louis theatrical premiere.
4) Be submitted with English subtitles if in a language other than English.
5) Be submitted with complete entry information and appropriate payment.
6) Not be widely available on video/DVD, cable, YouTube, Vimeo, iTunes, or VOD in the St. Louis region before the festival dates. A film's availability on one of these platforms does not absolutely disqualify an entry, but first priority will be given to works that are true premieres.
Entry Procedure:
Provide complete information on FilmFreeway. Films should be submitted as secure online screeners on the platform.
All entrants will be notified of the status of their submission by e-mail no later than March 31, 2024.
Notification of acceptance or rejection will not include criticism or feedback specific to your entry.
