All content submitted to us must be in English or with English subtitles.
All films must have been made in or after 2015. We place no restrictions on your work in terms of premiere status or whether your work has been made available online.
Filmmakers are responsible for sorting out the copyright on their own materials.
We may promote your film through social media, for which we may require all available promotional materials.
By submitting to us you give us the right to screen your film at Seoul International Film Festival.
Nominations: All films nominated for every category.
Official Selection: Films selected for screening will be notified via email. If you received a Nomination email, but no Official Selection email, it means your film will not be screened, but is still a contender for an award in its category.
Award Winners: Chosen from both the Nominations and the Official Selection.
We retain the right to modify a film's status and the dates and venues of the festival under special circumstances. Find our up-to-date schedule here: https://seoul2019.eventive.org/schedule
Any technical issues with the submitted films are 100% the responsibility of the filmmakers. If, at the time of judging, your video file doesn’t work or doesn’t have English subtitles (if in a language other than English), it will be automatically rejected, without a refund. Please contact the festival team ASAP if there are any issues with the submission process, and a solution will be found.
We cannot provide refunds.
The festival does not pay screening fees under any circumstances.
By submitting to us you agree to our terms and conditions and to receiving marketing newsletters and discounts about film festivals in the form of emails. We will never sell your information to third parties.
