Opportunity
The Wisconsin Film Festival welcomes narrative, documentary, experimental, and animated films or videos of any length.
Information
We present quality work that may not otherwise be seen in commercial theaters, and projects outside the mainstream film industry. We are looking for competence in the filmmaking craft; work that has vision and spirit; original subjects and well-told stories; and diverse voices. We look for films that represent different facets of filmmaking, from polished productions to no-budget gems. Each year’s selection of films is a blend of significant pictures scouted from around the world, combined with smaller, under-the-radar works that illustrate a variety of filmmaking styles.

Requirements
Submission Deadline: December 1, 200
Your film must have been completed after January 1, 2008.
You can submit more than one film, as long as each work meets the other criteria. Each film must have its own submission form, entry fee, and DVD/VHS tape, but can be mailed in the same envelope.
The Festival will not consider:
1. Commercials or advertisements. Music videos. Instructional, industrial, medical, or institutional films. Video games. Stand-alone trailers. Films with prior substantial theatrical exhibition, commercial TV broadcast or webcast, or commercial video distribution in the Madison, Wisconsin market.
2. Films submitted to the Wisconsin Film Festival in past years.
3. Films completed before January 1, 2008.
4. Work that will not be completed by February 15, 2010. The Festival does not include “works in progress” in its final program.
Feature films (60 min. or more): $30
Short films (less than 60 min.): $20
Student films (any length): $10 (with photocopy of valid student ID)
Fees can be paid with checks or money orders (payable to “Wisconsin Film Festival”) or with Visa or MasterCard.
[Student status is counted when your film was created. If you made your film when you were a student, and have now graduated, you may still submit that film as a student.]
Everyone will be notified of their film’s status (accepted or not accepted into the Festival) no later than February 15, 2010. At that time we’ll also notify any Wisconsin filmmakers who are receiving awards for their work.
