Eligibility

  • 16mm or Super 8 film under 22 minutes (submissions accepted in digital version only)
  • Installation works must be film-based
  • Official release date after December 1, 2013

Requirements for exhibition:

  • 16mm with optical sound

Selection Process
The Festival Programming Committee selects films for exhibition at the Festival from submitted entries, and a separate jury of artists and professionals from the film community selects award recipients. Entries are judged on their creative content, but also on the ability to maintain the spirit of low-budget filmmaking.

The $100 Film Festival pays artist fees for all works selected for the festival. If your film is selected for exhibition, you will be asked to ship A FILM PRINT to the CSIF approximately one month before the Festival. The $100 Film Festival will make every attempt to avoid any damage to your film, but cannot provide any guarantee. At the completion of the Festival, your film will be shipped back to you, pre-paid (with the exception of filmmakers in Calgary whose films will be available for pick-up).

Submissions
Submit your film or film-based installation documentation via, Vimeo or Youtube link, or Dropbox download along with the completed submission form before the deadline of December 1, 2015 to [email protected]

Extracts and stills from selected films may be used to advertise the Festival in local print, radio or television media, and on the Festival web site.
