By submitting your film to SCENE you give us permission to screen your film at the screening during Scene and at special preview screenings or at spin off screenings such as BFI Future Film Lab events. You are also giving us permission to acquire the rights to put your film into the BFI National Film and Television Archive, to screen through BFI Player and other BFI Future Film Festival channels including online platforms and BFI partner platforms.
Please send us a digital copy of your application with a working link to your film online (Youtube, Vimeo etc). Please note – we do not accept DVD submissions.
Please submit two still images from your film, any poster artwork and press materials that can be used for promotional purposes (Hi resolution JPEG – no more than 3MB in size).
