ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For the Spring Festival curated schedule (features and non-US shorts) -- We will contact you if we can schedule your work to play. Because last minute changes are typical for festival programs, there is no “deadline to hear about the status of your film. We are rearranging the schedule up until it prints.
For the US Shorts Competition -- Please do not contact the Festival regarding the status of your short film. Decisions for the Competition are exclusively in the hands of the National Jurors who will contact the winning filmmakers via telephone and/or email. All entrants will receive a list of the winning films after the program in May.
We are sorry that we are not able to speak with every filmmaker about their work. Please understand that we receive hundreds of film submissions each year which makes it impossible for us to talk with or email every filmmaker about their work.
