Submit a Film

The most unique difference between entering FLIFF and your ordinary film festival, is opportunity. When you submit your film to FLIFF you are automatically entered for consideration into:

  • FLIFF October 21 - November 11, 2011
  • FLIFF On-Location Grand Bahama Island October 28 - 31, 2011
  • Daytona Beach Film Festival November 11 - 13, 2011
  • St Augustine Film Festival January 19 - 22, 2012
  • Fernindina Beach Film Festival February 16 - 19, 2012

...and if that isn't enough, for a commercial run at Cinema Paradiso (FLIFF's year-round arthouse).

We recommend that you enter through withoutabox.com.  However, if you would prefer just to go direct with FLIFF, you can download an entry form right here.

Your Entry

Send a DVD in a padded envelope.

Do not go crazy sealing or taping your package.

Do not send in a padded envelope that has stuffing (we hate those things and they gunk up our playback units).

If you are a student, you must submit the name of your school to be listed in the catalog.  And don't make us go hunting for that info...use a Sharpie and write it directly on your DVD.

If possible (and we know it is), don't have a paper sticker on your DVD.

Do not send your package with Signature required...if you do, we cannot guarantee we will schlep to the Post Office to pick it up.  Its a pain...and we remember that when we are reviewing your entry!
