Submissions 2020

LGBT FILM CATEGORIES

The New Renaissance Film Festival programme has an area for films of different lengths and genres with an LGBT theme: Features, Medium Length, Shorts, and Short Shorts. All genres are welcome. There is also a screenwriting competition for Short Screenplays and Feature Screenplays written in the English language.

All film submissions must have English subtitles (if not in English) and be completed online through FilmFreeway or Withoutabox.* However if you are a screenwriter you can also submit your script on ISA, as well. For further details and the list of prizes, visit our submission page on FilmFreeway or Withoutabox.

Please include a press kit (short trailer [for films], stills, any links, logline, synopsis and cast and crew biogs) and ensure you read all the TERMS AND CONDITIONS at the foot of the page before making your submission. GOOD LUCK!
