DIFF accepts submissions for features, documentaries, shorts, and experimental films through its online portal, typically with deadlines in the autumn for the following spring festival. Filmmakers should ensure their submissions align with the festival's curatorial focus on innovative and culturally relevant works. It is advisable to submit early, as fees increase closer to the deadline, and to provide a compelling synopsis and director's statement. The festival values Irish and European premieres, so indicating the premiere status is crucial. For short films, keeping runtime under 30 minutes is recommended. DIFF also offers industry accreditation and market events, so filmmakers should check the website for specific guidelines and opportunities to network.
