Submit A Film For SXSW Consideration
SXSW will only be accepting applications online this year. If you are
unable to submit your film application online please email
film@sxsw.com
Films screen in the following categories:
Narrative Feature, Documentary Feature, Narrative Short, Documentary
Short, Animated Short, Experimental Short, and Music Video
You decide which category is appropriate for your film, keeping in mind...
- to qualify as a short, your film must be 40 minutes or less
- experimental shorts are those with NO narrative thread
SXSW Film does not accept trailers or works in progress. If you send us a
rough-cut, we cannot guarantee we'll have time to view a finished product,
particularly if a new tape is sent after early January. Your film has a better
chance of being selected if SXSW is able to review a finished product.
The festival will screen on 35mm and HDCam this year (subject to
change). If your film is selected to screen, our technical staff will work to
ensure the best screening format.
Submission price is $25 for shorts and $35 for features until
November 17, 2006. At that time prices will increase to $30 for shorts and $40
for features until the final deadline of December 8, 2006.
