The Noosa International Surfilm Festival and the Ajyal Film Festival have both announced that they are accepting film submissions for their upcoming events.
The Noosa International Surfilm Festival, which will take place from August 8-10 at the Noosa Event Cinemas, is currently accepting film submissions from filmmakers around the world. The festival is particularly interested in films that explore surf culture and tell compelling stories. Submissions can be made via the Filmfreeway platform until June 1. A panel of judges, including renowned surf photographer Jon Frank and award-winning filmmaker Mick Sowry, will review the submissions and select the films to be screened at the festival. Filmmakers whose films are chosen will be notified in the week of June 10th.
Meanwhile, the Ajyal Film Festival, organized by the Doha Film Institute, has announced the return of its 12th edition. The festival will take place from November 16-23, 2024, in Doha, Qatar. Film submissions are now open and will be accepted until September 15. The festival features a Feature Film Competition, a Short Film Competition, and a 'Made in Qatar' section showcasing films from Qatar's creative community. The Ajyal Film Festival aims to foster a deeper appreciation for cinema and nurture the next generation of storytellers. Films submitted to the festival should not have been released or publicly exhibited in Qatar prior to this year's festival.
Filmmakers from around the world have the opportunity to submit their surf movies to the Noosa International Surfilm Festival and their films to the Ajyal Film Festival, showcasing their work to a global audience and potentially gaining recognition for their talent. Both festivals provide platforms for filmmakers to share their stories and contribute to the vibrant world of cinema.
