Competition Entry

Film Festival Submission System (BrigitFest) found online at http://www.withoutabox.com/login/5386.
Through withoutabox, filmmakers throughout the US and Europe may quickly
and accurately enter their films in our competition.

Who
is permitted to enter?
Any professional or student in any country. There is no amateur
category in this festival, so amateur films that are not student films
will be judged along with the professional entries. If you have graduated,
you may still enter the student category, as long as the film was made
while you were a student.
I
live outside the US, am I permitted to enter.
Yes, we not only accept international applicants, but we welcome
and encourage it. All foreign language films need to have English sub-titles
and should preferably be in the NTSC format, although we are able to
play PAL on DVD (please let us know if your are sending PAL DVDs so
we can send it to our jurors with that capability). For payment from
outside the US, please send international money orders only.
What
formats do you accept for entries?
Submission formats for the film are mini-DV, VHS and DVD. To
ensure maximum compatibility, please burn DVD to DVD-R only. If you
submit your entry on VHS and are a winner, you will be asked to submit
an exhibit copy on DVD, DVCam, mini-DV, Large format DV or Beta SP.
Do
I need to have a press kit?
A press kit is suggested, but not required. Stills and synopsis must
be sent via email, or through withoutabox.com. Suggested press kit should
include 2 stills from your film, a synopsis, and information about the
director and producer of each film.
Is
there a limit on the number of films I can send?
There is no limit on numbers of submission. Please treat each
entry as a different entity, that is: use a different tape for each
entry, different submission forms, etc. However, you may combine different
entry fees on a single check. Please make sure you indicate that this
is what you are doing.
