San Francisco International Film Awards

Rules of Submission

Works submitted in languages other than English must be formatted with English subtitles.

Works-in-progress and rough cuts can be submitted by the deadline.
If your film is selected for the physical event, please be prepared to submit a digital still file as soon as possible.

We will inform the selected projects for the live screening between the time of their submission and the official notification date for the festival.

FEE WAIVERS:
While we would like to provide submission fee waivers to as many filmmakers as possible we are generally unable to at this time. We are a small, volunteer-run organization that depends on income from sources like submission fees to survive. You are always free to request a waiver or discount for special circumstances, but please be aware that will most likely be unable to provide one. Thank you for your understanding.
