Submission Guidelines

Entry requirements

We will accept any form of short film (narrative, animation, documentary etc.)

The film you intend to submit must have a total run time of 20 minutes or less (including opening and closing credits).

Entries must have been produced after 1st January 2022. We will not consider any films that have been made beforehand.

We accept films in all languages. Films in a language other than English must be subtitled in English unless dialogue or commentary is unnecessary for comprehension and appreciation.

There is no premiere requirement. We will accept submissions of films that have been previously screened elsewhere, including other film club screenings and festivals.

Films that have been screened at previous WFTV Film Club screenings are ineligible for submission.

Film submissions must be completed with final edits. We will not accept rough cuts or works in progress.
