Salford Film Festival: call for submissions

Jun 29, 02:25 PM by Kate Taylor

Salford Film Festival returns in November for nine intensive days of screenings, seminars, workshops, and special events. Since its inception in 2003, Salford has been a festival with a strong regional voice, rooted deep in the local community. Offering a heady mix of British kitchen sink classics, international cinema with a local connection, and premieres of new work filmed in and around the region, the Festival is dedicated to promoting and raising the profile of Salford as an area of creative excellence in filmmaking, and as a breeding-ground for some of the world’s great talent, past, present and to come.

The festival is seeking new short films and features produced within the North West region, particularly those with a strong Salford connection (and failing that a Greater Manchester focus) to form part of a new talent showcase. We believe filmmaking should be accessible to all, so we are operating an entirely open submission policy, extending our call to professionals and amateurs alike.

Submissions should be sent on DVD to Steve Balshaw, Programme Manager, Salford Film Festival, The International Media Centre, Adelphi House, Salford Crescent, Salford, M3 6EN. 0161 834 3537. Further information and submission forms from
stevebalshaw@hotmail.co.uk or from our website: www.salfordfilmfestival.org.uk. Filmmakers should include contact phone number, email, postal address, film synopsis, length, and technical specifications (screening ratio, format, etc). There is no submission fee.
