It can be hard to figure out which festival might best suit your project\u2019s timeline, or even its specific length or genre. The folks at MovieMaker Magazine have kindly listed<a href=\"https:\/\/filmfreeway.com\/festivals\/curated\/50-film-festivals-worth-the-entry-fee?call_for_entries=1&page=1&per_page=50&section_id=8&sort=all_deadlines\"> \u201c50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee<\/a>,\u201d and we\u2019re here to further assist by selecting a handful of their more under-the-radar events, as well as a few big ones you might have heard of.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each film festival has its own advantages and charms, and while the sheer variety can be intimidating, keeping an eye on each event\u2019s deadlines and mission statements might just help you decide <a href=\"https:\/\/filmfreeway.com\/articles\/which-film-festival-is-right-for-you\/\">where your next film belongs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>H<\/strong><strong>ollyShorts Film Festival<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deadlines: June 2, 2025<\/strong><br>Like NFFTY,<a href=\"https:\/\/filmfreeway.com\/HollyShortsFilmFestival\"> HollyShorts<\/a> in Los Angeles also has a<a href=\"https:\/\/filmfreeway.com\/HollyShortsScreenplayContest\"> screenplay contest<\/a>. However, the event, which runs August 7\u201317, is more famous for its Oscar- and BAFTA-qualifying<a href=\"https:\/\/filmfreeway.com\/HollyShortsFilmFestival\"> <\/a>short film competition. A successful platform festival, 17 of its alumni were<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollyshorts.com\/news\/fifteen-hollyshorts-alumni-named-on-2025-oscars-short-list\"> recently shortlisted<\/a> across the Academy Awards\u2019 three short film categories: live action, animation, and documentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now in its 21st year, the event boasts prestigious Hollywood screening locations like the TCL Chinese Theatres, with an audience consisting of industry professionals. The fest accepts submissions as late as June 2, providing plenty of time to finish works in progress\u2014or even to plan and get started.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>F<\/strong><strong>emale Eye Film Festival<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deadlines: Jan. 31\u2013April 11, 2025<\/strong><br>Based in Woodbridge, Ontario, the 23rd edition of the <a href=\"https:\/\/filmfreeway.com\/FemaleEyeFilmFestival\">Female Eye Film Festival<\/a> (or FeFF), which accepts films directed by women, begins July 16. Established as a nonprofit, its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefemaleeyefilmfestival.com\/history\">mission<\/a> as a woman-centric, trans-inclusive festival is \u201cgender equity, inclusion, and diversity\u201d within filmmaking. It seeks to achieve that goal by fostering an intimate, welcoming atmosphere, making it a great place to network (and to qualify for the Canadian Screen Awards!). While its early bird deadline passed in October, its regular deadline is Jan. 31, with extended deadlines on March 31 and April 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FeFF\u2019s Script Development Program is open to people of any gender, with a preference for stories about women. Meanwhile, its wide berth of film sections award women-directed films in categories dedicated to Canadian, international, documentary, animated, and experimental works\u2014both shorts and features alike\u2014which casts an impressively broad net over the kinds of entries it accepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>H<\/strong><strong>ot Spring Documentary Film Festival<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deadlines: July 15, 2025<\/strong><br>Now in its 34th year, the Oscar-qualifying<a href=\"https:\/\/filmfreeway.com\/HotSpringsDocumentaryFilmFestival\"> Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival<\/a> in Hot Springs, Arkansas, is the oldest nonfiction film festival in North America. Although its early bird deadline is Feb. 1, regular submissions offer plenty of lead time as they remain open until July 15. The fest itself kicks off October 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its juries of international filmmakers, journalists, and industry leaders\u2014judging both American and international entries\u2014the festival creates a sense of occasion around its proceedings. However, its numerous prizes (for both short and feature films) are decided not just by juries, but critics and audiences, allowing different kinds of works from varying sensibilities and points of view the opportunity to stand out.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>RELATED:<mark style=\"background-color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\"> <\/mark><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/filmfreeway.com\/articles\/which-film-festival-is-right-for-you\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\"><strong>5 Questions to Ask When Selecting Film Festivals to Apply To<\/strong><\/mark><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>C<\/strong><strong>annes Film Festival<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deadline: March 3 and March 14, 2025<\/strong><br>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.festival-cannes.com\/en\/\">Cannes Film Festival<\/a> needs little introduction. The two-week summer event in the south of France is among the most famous of its kind. Its 78th bow at the iconic Promenade de la Croisette, set for May 13\u201324, will play host to glamorous, highly acclaimed talent from across the globe, and a whole list of prestigious films that\u2014like previous years\u2014will likely dominate the awards conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final deadline for features is<a href=\"https:\/\/www.festival-cannes.com\/en\/take-part\/submit-a-film\/feature-films-in-official-selection\/\"> March 14<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.festival-cannes.com\/en\/take-part\/submit-a-film\/regulations-for-short-films-in-competition\/\"> March 3<\/a> for short films. Notably, submitting a short film to Cannes is free of charge, though the festival does limit the duration of its entries to 15 minutes. That said, there are few better places for emerging directors to showcase their work\u2014and to subsequently network with the widest possible cross-section of the filmmaking world given the numerous pavilions dedicated to dozens of different countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A<\/strong><strong>ustin Film Festival<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deadlines: March 25\u2013July 8, 2025<\/strong><br>The emergence of Austin as<a href=\"https:\/\/www.moviemaker.com\/best-places-to-live-and-work-as-a-moviemaker-in-2022\/3\/\"> a major production hub<\/a> has also ensured a sturdy festival scene, with its own unique culture and a proclivity for genre bents. The Texas capital is home to over 30 such events, making the now three decade\u2013old<a href=\"https:\/\/filmfreeway.com\/AustinFilmFestival\"> Austin Film Festival<\/a>\u2014formerly the Austin Heart of Film Screenwriters Conference\u2014a major pit stop. Its early bird deadline is March 25, with extended deadlines through July 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, the week-long, Oscar-qualifying festival begins Oct. 23, with a continuing <a href=\"https:\/\/austinfilmfestival.com\/about\/\">mission<\/a> to \u201cfurther the art and craft of storytelling by inspiring and championing the work of writers, filmmakers, and all artists who use written and visual language to tell a story.\u201d The event\u2019s Writers Conference is a unique draw, with hundreds of experienced panelists from across film and television\u2014and even theater productions and podcasts. Meanwhile, its script and movie competitions are divvied up by genre, from comedy to horror to sci-fi, and focus on works with a strong but specific voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Toronto International Film Festival<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deadlines: March\u2013May 2025<\/strong><br>In early September, downtown Toronto transforms into a hub for global cinema to kick off <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiff.net\/\">TIFF<\/a>. The two-week event features everything from experimental shorts to major feature film premieres, and it\u2019s where the big studios gather to showcase much of the work they\u2019re releasing through the rest of the calendar year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year also marks the 50th edition of TIFF, a festival whose over 300,000 attendees, 200 features, and 60 shorts make it one of the largest and most celebrated fests in the world. It even includes a five-day<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiff.net\/films?series=conference&list\"> industry conference<\/a>, which features numerous talks with seasoned professionals. The submission window opens in early March each year, while its late deadlines are usually in May.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>I<\/strong><strong>ris Prize LGBTQ+ Film Festival<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deadlines: June 1, 2025<\/strong><br>Established in 2007, the<a href=\"https:\/\/irisprize.org\/\"> Iris Prize LGBTQ+ Film Festival<\/a> in Cardiff, Wales, isn\u2019t just a BAFTA-qualifying film fest; it\u2019s home to the largest short film prize in the world. Its eponymous Iris Prize is accompanied by a \u00a340,000 grant, as well as the opportunity to make your next LGBTQ+ short film in the Welsh capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accepting submissions until June 1 (with a 100% fee waiver for Iris alumni), the festival, running Oct. 13\u201319, features not just short and feature film prizes, but prizes for male, female, and nonbinary actors. What\u2019s more, the best shortlisted British films will stream on Channel 4, the U.K.\u2019s biggest free streaming service. The festival is also set to begin a national tour for its winning films with its 2025 edition, offering filmmakers the chance to exhibit their work at locations all over the U.K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>V<\/strong><strong>enice International Film Festival<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deadlines: February\u2013June 2025<\/strong><br>Much like Cannes, the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.labiennale.org\/en\"> Venice International Film Festival<\/a> is associated with glitz, glamour, and pristine artistry\u2014though that doesn\u2019t mean it won\u2019t embrace change. Now in its 82nd year, the late-August festival has, since 2017, also been home to the Venice Immersive section dedicated to VR storytelling, which showcases several dozen boundary-pushing works each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deadlines for the festival, which haven\u2019t been announced yet, tend to extend from early February to mid-June each year, with the short film and Venice Immersive cutoffs usually scheduled for May. In recent years, Hollywood studios and streamers have had an increased presence in the island city, ensuring that the distinguished event remains home to major red carpet premieres, while also platforming innovative storytelling across its many sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>S<\/strong><strong>undance Film Festival (2026)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deadlines: July\u2013September 2025<\/strong><br>The 2025<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sundance.org\/festivals\/sundance-film-festival\/submit\/\"> Sundance Film Festival<\/a> kicks off Jan. 23 in Park City (with some screenings in the nearby Salt Lake City), but that shouldn\u2019t stop you from planning for next year. The <a href=\"https:\/\/filmfreeway.com\/articles\/sundance-film-festival-guide\/\">festival\u2019s 49th edition<\/a> in 2026 (albeit the 41st to use the \u201cSundance\u201d name) could be its last in the snowy Utah mountains, with Boulder, Colorado, and Cincinnati, Ohio, on deck as potential replacements. But no matter where it ends up, the Robert Redford\u2013created festival is likely to remain the premier destination for American indies, shorts, and more low-key studio fare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the event begins in late January, its deadlines tend to extend from late July to late September. The fest accepts U.S. and international shorts and features\u2014both narrative and documentary\u2014but it\u2019s also home to episodic programs for shows that run both over and under 60 minutes in length, making it a stellar platform for TV breakouts, too. Sundance has also notably been one of the few major festivals to fully embrace streaming during and after COVID-19 shutdowns, with filmmakers having the option to showcase their works nationwide during the festival for maximum exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are 10 film festivals you should consider applying to in
