51ST AAFF CALL FOR ENTRIES

** Our Late Deadline is extended to November 15th due to the Withoutabox data loss. **

The Call for Entries is now CLOSED for the 51st Ann Arbor Film Festival!

The 51st AAFF provides at least $20,000 in cash and film stock/services to more than 20 filmmakers, serves as a qualifying festival for Academy Award® nomination in the short film category and provides touring opportunities for select filmmakers.

The 51st Festival will take place March 19 – 24, 2013 in downtown Ann Arbor, MI.

Each film should only be submitted with one option (either on withoutabox.com, with a paper form or an electronic form). For example, you do not need to fill out a paper entry form if you are submitting via withoutabox.com.

We are currently accepting submissions in the following formats: DVD, Blu-ray, Internet Link (URL) and 16mm.

If you would like to submit your work via an Internet Link (URL), choose from one of the three submission options above, then send an email to submissions@aafilmfest.org with the films URL, director's name, title of entry, withoutabox.com tracking number (if applicable) and password information (if applicable).
