Horrible Imaginings Film Festival

****UPDATE****
The realities of the 2021 season are still unclear. We now know two things: the threat of COVID-19 is very real and there are some genuine benefits to virtual. The plan is to go back to the cinema by the time Labor Day 2021 comes around, but there is also a lot of talk about a hybrid approach with a supplemental virtual component. Not sure what that will look like at this point, but I will be sure to keep everyone informed! For the time being, we are still not considering premiere status, nor are we immediately disqualifying films available for VOD.

All short film submissions will also be considered for our quarterly CAMPFIRE TALES SERIES.

Non English-language films must be subtitled in English.

We do accept exemplary older films, but only films completed after December 31, 2018 will be in consideration for awards.

Incomplete films (missing score, soundtrack, color correction, etc.) may be submitted for consideration so long as they are clearly marked as incomplete. Incomplete films must be finished by August 10, 2021.

All submissions must be made via FilmFreeway. This ensures that your film receives proper attention and consideration by the Selection Committee.

All submissions for consideration must be made available via a private online screener link (no physical screeners will be accepted or viewed).

Selected films must be received by the festival no later than August 10, 2021.
