The London Cannabis Film Festival submission requirements
We welcome submissions that explore all aspects of cannabis and hemp and whilst cannabis doesn’t need to be the main focus of your film it should be represented.
Submissions should be made through FilmFreeway. DVD’s will be considered but please contact us via email first for the address. Please note, DVDs and other submitted materials will not be returned so please don’t send film prints, master tapes or other originals.
Short films should be less than 30 mins.
Any film over 30 mins will be entered into the feature films category.
All film entries selected for the Festival grant The London Cannabis Film Festival the rights to use footage, stills and/or titles and information from the film for promotional purposes.
All films submitted must be free from any legal disputes and the filmmaker must have cleared all rights for music and exhibition. By entering you also agree TheLCFF use to programme your film at other LCFF events.
