Munich International Short Film Festival
Munich
18th - 24th June 2009
This annual short film festival, which takes place directly prior to the "big" Munich Filmfest, will showcase the world's best contemporary short films each night at the tradition-steeped Gloria Filmpalast in the heart of the Bavarian capitol.
The festival is staged by the Munich Filmwerkstatt, which is an association of young directors, producers and other members of the filmmaking community who support each other's films and careers, and CommClub Munich. Under the motto "Collecting knowledge and strengthening personal networking", CommClub Munich is dedicated to the media industry in Munich and to bringing people from various branches together by offering a wide range of events and meetings focusing on information, networking and fun. The festival takes place in cooperation with Mathäser and is presented by Abendzeitung. Global transportation of the screening prints is provided by Interkep, and the festival's prize, film stock for the next project of the winning director, is kindly contributed by Kodak.
Submission Guidelines:
Submissions are via Reelport, and are open to non-German language films of all genres (fiction, animation, documentary, experimental, music video or other) from any nation of the world. Films must not have been shown in Bavaria at a festival, in a theatre or on television before, and must not exceed a length of 15 minutes.
All non-English films must have English subtitles. The festival prefers to screen 35mm prints. The deadline for submissions is 28th February 2009, and the festival asks that you send your film in as soon as possible, rather than waiting until the deadline. Please check the complete submission requirements at www.muc-intl.de
To submit a film, please register at Reelport. After registering, you will be guided through the necessary steps, from the filling of simple data requests to the automatic upload of a video file. You may also send a DVD preview copy to the address mentioned on the Reelport website. Please do not send your preview copy directly to the festival.
