The Chicago Palestine Film Festival is issuing a call for films by Palestinian filmmakers and for films about Palestine for our eleventh annual 2012 festival.
The Film Festival committee accepts films and videos of all genres and of any duration. For films with non-English dialogue, English subtitles are required. Film selection criteria include artistry, technical skill, and content. We are especially interested in work by Palestinian filmmakers, but nationality is not a selection criteria.
Preview editions must be VHS or DVD in either PAL or NTSC encoding. These preview copies become property of the Festival committee and will not be returned. The filmmakers retain all rights to their submitted films.
The deadline for submissions for our 2012 festival is January 1, 2012. Submission does not guarantee exhibition of the film in the Chicago Palestine Film Festival. There is no submission fee for the Festival, but the Festival does not pay screening fees for submitted films.
Preview copies, along with a completed copy of the 2012 Film Submission Form, should be sent to this postal address:
Chicago Palestine Film Festival
637 S. Dearborn Ave.
3rd Floor
Chicago, IL 60605
U.S.A.
You must complete the 2012 Film Submission Form so that we have all of your contact information and information about your film if it is selected.
