Film Submission opens August 15 2008

Submission to the 32nd Göteborg International Film Festival opens August 15, 2008. Deadline is September 30, 2008 (date as postmark).

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR FILM

Many filmmakers from all over the world want to submit their films to GIFF - a fact that makes us very grateful and proud!

For our 32nd Göteborg International Film Festival, January 23-February 2, 2009, we take applications for:
1. Feature films available on 35mm, Digibeta PAL, Beta SP PAL or HD print. The length must be 72 minutes minimum.
2. Documentaries available on 35mm, Digibeta PAL, Beta SP PAL or HD print. The length must be 45 minutes minimum.

Please note that we do not take applications for international shorts.

No film must have had its first screening before January 1, 2008.

All applications must be made through our website: www.filmfestival.org. Göteborg IFF charges an application fee of 30 Euro. This is an administrative fee, and does not guarantee that the film will be selected.

Please send us one screener of your film on VHS or DVD. Both the screener and the print must have English subtitles, or English original dialogue. Göteborg IFF has unfortunately no possibility of returning the screener, or leaving a detailed review of your film, other than accepted/not accepted. The program committee's decision of accepted/not accepted will be announced to you on December 31, 2008 or earlier.

Our website is open for submission from August 15, 2008. Deadline for sending in submissions is September 30, 2008. (The envelope with the film must have a postmark from this date or earlier.)

If your film corresponds with the above mentioned criterions, you are most welcome to submit to our up-coming 32nd Göteborg International Film Festival.

Once you have paid your fee, the application-form will be available to you.
