Hi all-
These were submitted to my blog using the submission page. Feel free to submit a festival if you organize one, and also, any venue or event that you feel is suitable for accepting time based work.

Suggestions from filmmakers for festivals I may not know about are appreciated as well. :)

If you are submitting, please be aware that it is time consuming to go through entries. Spend a moment making sure that you meet the requirements so that you are not spending unnecessary time submitting to a festival that does not accept your type of work, or in the case of the Viennale, below- only accepts a description initially and work must be invited to apply. Please respect the restrictions. I can only imagine what it would be like to receive heaps of live action for an animation festival, etc. In order to keep entry free let’s make sure there isn’t an unnecessary burden on the festival.

With that, as always- best of luck,

Hi all-
In going through my master lists, I find festivals that now charge a fee to submit. Unfortunately, I also find festivals that are no longer running. One festival that I was particularly fond of was the Minute Festival in Brazil . According to the site, they do not have the support to continue. A description of the festival:. The “One Minute Festival was created in 1991 and has inspired the breeding of over 50 “one minute festivals” all around the world. Since 2007, the Festival has become permanent and online. The Festival launches themes and monthly rewards the best works. One Minute Festival also could be called Ideas’s Festival, once idea is the most relevant criterion used in the vídeo’s evaluation.”   :(
