SPFF will be accepting submissions of any type: full-length feature, short film, documentary, animation, experimental video, or music video. All accepted submissions must be deemed of sufficient quality to be viewed by a public audience, and be Polish-themed or in a deliberate and meaningful way connected to Polish culture, language, or persons.
Additional information for sending submittals will be posted when submittal period is established.
Please consult the following regulations and submission details below.
The Seattle Polish Film Festival has as its objective the promotion of cinematographic art by presenting films of quality.
SPFF will accept all submissions of any format film: full-length feature, short film, documentary, animation, experimental video, or music video. All accepted submissions must be deemed of sufficient quality to be viewed by a public audience, and be Polish-themed or in a deliberate and meaningful way connected to Polish culture, language, or persons. It is SPFF policy not to offer comments or reasons for films not selected for the official program.
All feature and documentary films in a language other than English must be subtitled in English. Short subjects, experimental video, or music videos carry the same requirement for English subtitling, unless dialogue or commentary is unnecessary for comprehension and appreciation.
Upon reception of viewing copies, the SPFF will determine which works are granted entry into the SPFF official program. At this point, a festival copy of the work (if a higher quality format version exists) may be requested from the filmmaker. All shipping and insurance costs will be incurred by the sender.
No cuts or changes in any film will be made by the SPFF for any reason.
Excerpts from films will only be shown on television for promotional purposes if permission is obtained from the producer.
Submission of a film represents agreement with the regulations set forth here.
