Calling all filmmakers! Our good friends at the San Diego Asian Film Foundation are seeking submissions for their 12th annual festival, happening October 20-28, 2011. They're looking for competitive entries in the categories of narrative feature, narrative short, documentary feature, documentary short, and animation. Unfortunately, you're too late for the early deadline, but you've got another month to hit the regular deadline. Read on for more details:
The San Diego Asian Film Festival is seeking competitive entries in the following categories: narrative feature, narrative short, documentary feature, documentary short, and animation. An independent jury selects winners in each category, along with the Grand Jury award, which are announced at the Festival’s Gala Awards Night on Saturday, October 22, 2011. Festival programmers also select a first-time filmmaker to receive the George C. Lin Emerging Filmmaker Award, which is accompanied by a cash prize.This is easily one of my favorite film festivals. It's just a great event, and I look forward to attending every year.
