FilmmakersNetwork.ie is currently taking submissions for the inaugural Dublin Film Fringe festival.
The competition is open to all entries by Irish filmmakers or set in Ireland.
The competition rules are as follows:
- Films must be under 20 minutes long. Shorter movies are preferred.
- Films must have been made in the previous 2 years.
- Films must be filmed in Ireland and/or by Irish filmmakers.
- Films must be submitted on DVD with the completed application form. A Quicktime/AVI of the film should also be included on the disc.
- Ideally movies shold be encoded in H-264 but avi is also acceptable. If a digital copy cannot be included then a version will be ripped from the DVD but this may result in a degrading of quality.
- Anybody submitting more than one entry must fill out a seperate application for each.
- All submitted DVDs cannot be returned, and not all films entered fill be selected for viewing.
Be quick though as the closing date for submissions is January 23rd, 2010.
