This one's for my filmmaker friends, some film festival entry deadlines coming up... The third annual DisOrient Asian American Film Festival of Oregon is spreading the word about its call for entries. They're looking for films and videos that challenge, expand, and document the depth of the Asian American experience. The early deadline is January 18, and the late deadline is February 8. Submit your film! And if you take my advice, you can save a few bucks on the entry fee. For you, my friends, write the code "ANGRYASIAN" on the top of your entry form, and you'll get a fee waiver. Download the Call For Entries PDF here. DisOrient happens April 24-27, 2008.
On the other side of the country... the Asian American International Film Festival in New York is now seeking entries for its 31st annual festival. As the first and longest-running Asian American festival in the US, the AAIFF is the premiere showcase for works by filmmakers of Asian descent, or about the Asian community. To submit your work online, go to withoutabox.com. For more information about the submission process, go here. The early deadline is January 31, and the late deadline is February 16. The 31st AAIFF happens July 10-19, 2008.
Finally, the submission deadline for the 24th edition of the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, presented by Visual Communications, has been extended to January 11.
