2012 FILM SUBMISSIONS

Please use the form below (one per entry) to submit the details of film and moving image works. The deadline for entries is June 1st 2012.

We accept submissions of short films, feature films and moving image works (digital and 16/35mm). We usually prefer work of a more experimental nature, though narrative films that show uniqueness in form and structure, or strong relevance to our themes, are most welcome. Please bear in mind the overall festival theme which aims to explore mankind’s relationship to the natural world – this year we are particularly interested in ideas relating to traversing the wild – how we move through the land. We’re also interested in the ‘alchemy’ of film as well, whatever that turns out to be. Please only submit your work if it relates to these themes in some meaningful way.

After completing the form you will see a confirmation message and you will receive a confirmation email. If you do not get these messages, then your entry has not been received and you should submit again or contact us.

In order to fill out this form, you will need the following information to hand:
- Exact running time of the work.
- Some basic technical details about aspect ratio and available screening formats.
- Short description/synopsis (30 – 100 words).
- Short biography of Director (30 – 100 words).
- Production credits.
- A digital still image of the work.

Please select as many as you have available. We can screen all the above. Please note that while we accept standard def DVDs for preview purposes, we do not usually use DVDs for actual screenings. We prefer to receive higher quality digital video files to be edited into our screening programme. We are especially delighted to screen film prints, though shipping costs can sometimes deter us from doing so if a print is not available in the UK.

Where is the film print located?

Please tell us where we would get the print from - ie the name and address of the distributor/print holder and in which country. Please also tell us if the print is available free or whether screening fees would need to be paid. We can usually cover the costs of shipping for a limited number of film prints.

If you do not know how to answer this, leave it blank, but we may have to ask for more details later.
