PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT WE DON'T PUBLISH YOUR FILM ANYWHERE ONLINE.

 

    Due to the limited time of screening hours, only the WINNING FILMS of each category will have the chance to be screened at our          location, thus meaning a total of 10 films - the AWARD WINNERS (Best Film, Silver, Bronze, Special Mention) and the CATEGORIES        AWARD WINNERS (Animation, Documentary, etc). If your film will be selected as a WINNER, it will be screened, otherwise, not.

 

    Only short films accepted (maximum 35 minutes long) of any genre.

 

    We only accept online screeners, digital copies or a link to the project (such as Vimeo, Youtube, etc).

 

    The entry fee is refundable upon request, no later than 15 days after submitting your project.

 

    We only accept digital submissions of HD quality (720p or better). Furthermore, Filmstrip IFF has the right to disqualify/not accept      your submission without further notice.

 

    English subtitles mandatory (except for music videos)

 

    For films selected for the final screening, we will require a download link to the submission and English subtitles in subtitle                  formats (.txt, .sub, .srt, etc)  in order to translate the movie for the audience, all of these no later than 7 days prior to the festival          screening. 

 

    Maximum 2 projects per director/submitter per festival edition, however, you will be allowed to resubmit the entry in the next            edition if the project hasn’t been awarded in the previous one.

    For a category to be considered eligible, there will be minimum 5 entries necessary.

    The Best Film award winner cannot submit his film at our festival for 1 year.
