Filmmakers should submit work that demonstrates a strong authorial voice and formal experimentation within documentary or animation. The festival values films that engage with social and political themes in nuanced ways. Early submission is advised, as fees increase closer to deadlines. Ensure your film aligns with the specific categories, such as the short film competition 'Dok Short N’ Sweet', which favors concise, impactful storytelling.
