Deadline on FilmFestivalLife – July 2015

Fancy seeing your film screened in Georgia, a land of impressive mountains, green valleys and vineyards? Then get submitting to BIAFF – Batumi International Art-house Film Festival, who has its Late Deadline at the very start of the month – so get on your skates, filmmakers!

LGBT issues are a hot topic right now, particularly with the legalisation of gay marriage in the US and the results of the Irish referendum.  Side by Side LGBT Film Festival aims to shine a spotlight on these issues, and it’s situated in the hotbed of Russia to boot. Late Deadline is this month.

TOFIFEST International Film Festival is also closing for submissions at the end of the month. Aiming to celebrate “rebellious cinema”, it’s one to submit to if you’re devoted to cutting-edge cinema. Happy August!
