These rules and terms cover all film submissions: feature documentaries and short documentaries.
WHAT KINDS OF FILMS DO WE ACCEPT?
We are looking for inspirational documentary films about female role models from every passion and profession, and from all corners of the world. Films of all lengths will be considered: we have submission categories for feature length and short documentaries. If films are not in english, please include english language subtitles. If your film was made long ago or has been previously screened, no problem!
HOW DO YOU SUBMIT YOUR FILM?
Please submit your film via FilmFreeway. If your film is selected, we will ask you to send us a downloadable HD version of your film and a press pack with production credits and photos. If a rough cut is submitted for review and your film is accepted to the festival, you must inform us of any major changes made to the film before an exhibition copy is received.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR FILM IS SUBMITTED?
All submitted films will be reviewed and considered for selection to be screened at Feminista Film Festival (annual flagship event) and at Feminista Film Festival Tour screenings (year round screenings hosted by other individuals or organisations).
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOUR FILM IS SELECTED FOR FEMINISTA FILM FESTIVAL and/or the FEMINISTA TOUR PROGRAMME?
Your film will be viewed by audiences at Feminista Film Festival and/or Feminista Film Festival Tour screenings. Your film will also be eligible to win Feminista awards! You will be provided with a Pass to attend all festival events and public Tour screenings. We love hosting inspiring Q&As and encourage you to join us at the Festival and Tour screenings of your film.
