SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN!!

Earlybird Deadline : February 15, 2021
Regular Deadline : March 15, 2021
Final Deadline : April 15, 2021

The GFF programming team is once again looking for the best contemporary cinema from Manitoba, Canada and around the world, both feature and short films. This includes narrative, documentary and experimental films, as well as feature films and short films from anywhere in the world! GFF would also encourage submissions of expanded cinema, media arts installations and virtual/augmented reality projects.

Gimli Film Festival is committed to paying all filmmakers minimum artist fees who are selected to screen at our Festival, and we actively work to keep our submission fees low to encourage accessibility and inclusion from low-income and marginalized communities.  *For 2021, GFF has eliminated submission fees for Manitoba-based Filmmakers.

If you have any questions or comments about the film submission process or anything else, please feel free to reach out to our programming team anytime: [email protected]

What to Expect at Gimli Film Festival:

The Gimli Film Festival (GFF) annually screens over 100 films, and in 2019 we saw our largest attendance ever, with over 13, 000 filmgoers attending the Festival's events.  2020 was a challenging year which forced us to pivot to a virtual festival, but it was a success and we were able to show even more films than in previous years! In 2021, GFF will continue our spotlights on the best contemporary Canadian, Icelandic and International cinema.  We will also continue our focused series on Woman-driven Cinema, Social Justice Documentaries, Indigenous Perspectives and of course a strong focus on Manitoba-made cinema.

As an organization, GFF is actively working to promote accessibility for all and inclusion that accurately represents our diverse culture. We also are working hard to ensure our organization is employing an ethical business model, which includes proper treatment and payment of all staff and contributing artists, as well as being an active contributor to the local community and the greater Manitoba film community.

In addition to paying all filmmakers proper artist fees (either IMAA fees or fees dictated by film distributors), we also do our best to provide affordable film submission fees to encourage participation from low-income and marginalized communities.  If finances are prohibiting you from applying to our festival we encourage you to contact our programming team.
