Open Call for Local Filmmaker Submissions
We are looking for short films under 20 minutes from Philadelphia filmmakers. All genres, styles, and stories are welcome. This is an open call. Priority to filmmakers who fall outside the lines of white cis-hetero lens. We ask that filmmakers be cognizant of violence, anti-blackness, queerphobia, ableism, and misogynoir; and be careful with heavy themes and stories. Filmmakers who are early, mid-career, or students are also encouraged to apply.
Chosen films/filmmakers will be exhibited live and in person, with the opportunity to join us for a meet-n-greet and short post-screening talkback. If you are a filmmaker that makes independent, intimate work, please consider pitching your film to us!
**Filmmakers must be Philadelphia-based**
To the front: Black, brown, Indigenous, queer, women or non-binary identifying filmmakers
**Film must be < 20 min in length**
