This year’s festival theme is “Human Stories in Our Community.”
EXPRESSION OF INTEREST FORM - please complete by 25th November if you are interested in entering a film for this competition.
Students may submit films in any genre, as long as their work reflects this central idea. Film submission deadline is Sunday, February 1st, at midnight
For example, students can choose to present a coming-of-age story, that explores internal or external challenges, Yet these experiences differ greatly across regions — what growing up means in Mongolia might look very different from in Thailand or China. We encourage students to bring elements of their own culture and context into their films.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions
