Peripheral Produce's Eighth Annual Portland Documentary and
eXperimental Film Festival (PDX Fest, for short) is now accepting
submissions for its five-day exposition taking place May 6-10, 2009 in
Portland, Oregon.
PDX Fest is dedicated to showcasing new and innovative work in film and
video from around the world. Focusing on non-narrative and documentary
films that goes against the grain of mainstream entertainment, the PDX
Fest is looking for artistic, underground, quirky and challenging work
that reflects contemporary culture, documents historic oddities, and is
otherwise unclassifiable.
Experimental, documentary and/or underground work of all lengths will
be considered. Exhibition formats include 35mm, 16mm, Beta SP, and DV. Live, multi-media and performance-based works with a film or video emphasis are also encouraged to submit. We are also accepting video installation proposals for the festival's satellite installation exhibit. Please see our submission guidelines for complete details!
Final Deadline: January 23, 2009
PDX FEST GOES GREEN!
In the hopes of reducing the amount of waste we accumulate as a film
festival and minimizing our impact on the environment, we have greatly
simplified the submission process, paring it down to the bare
essentials. We are asking film and video entrants to send only their
entry form and a one-page description/bio along with their
submissions. As much as we love seeing everyone's groovy posters, cool
DVD cases, and awesome press kits, we ask that for the sake of our
environment (and our tiny little office), that you refrain from sending
such additional materials with your entry. If your film is selected
for the festival, press materials may be requested at that time.
Ultimately this will save you time and money with a simpler, lighter
submission package to mail off, while saving us the guilt-inducing task
of recycling or throwing out (when necessary) a massive load of
additional materials come the end of the festival. Please see the entry
guidelines for the full run down on submission materials to include.
Thanks in advance for helping us out with this!
