2014 is nearly over…but there’s a ton of deadlines to come first in the month of Christmas!
FILMFEST DRESDEN’s Festival Director Katrin Küchler has given her big tips in our FOCUS interview with her right before their open call is coming to an end. Here’s one to whet your appetite – ‘Filmmakers should show more courage in using their own signature style!’ And that’s not it! Also upcoming is one of our inaugural festivals on the platform, Taos Shortz Film Fest. Check their Quickee promo if you need some convincing. People For Peace Film Festival, Mecal 17th Festival International of Short Film and Animation of Barcelona and Courts des Îles, International Festival of Short Fiction Films from the Islands of the World all come from different parts of the world, and have different missions, but they all close their submissions too!
And let’s not forget achtung berlin – new berlin film award. It’s a festival that enthrals FFL’s home city of Berlin year-in, year-out with excellent homegrown films.
And like always – more festivals you can find below.
