Disciplines

To apply to the film program, applicants must submit one short film, no longer than 5 minutes. Judges will be looking for applicants who are good storytellers; applicants with strong narrative skills should not be discouraged from applying due to unfamiliarity with the technical aspects of filmmaking. Video submissions may be any narrative format using any technique (e.g., video, animation, stop-motion, multimedia).

Videos created with smart phones and tablets are acceptable.

Applicants will also be required to complete a short, written description of work (applicants role in the film, inspiration, etc.) with their video submission.

Deadline for Submission: Monday, February 13, 2023 at 11:59 p.m.   Monday, February 20, 2023 at 11:59 p.m.
