Submission Guidelines & Format Notice

 

Important Note Before You Submit:

Please review the structure of the 6th edition of LISFF before completing your application:

Format Shift & Screenings: LISFF is moving away from traditional, fixed annual screenings. While we will host standalone physical screenings and special showcase events periodically, this official selection cycle operates as a digital Editorial & Review Showcase on AVFRI.com.

 

What the $10 Fee Covers:

The $10 submission fee covers the processing and thorough evaluation of your work. Every filmmaker who submits will receive a written evaluation report providing actionable feedback on the key strengths and weaknesses of their film (including narrative structure, performance, editing, and technical execution).

 

Publication is Selective:

Submission and payment of the evaluation fee do not guarantee publication. Only projects designated as Official Selections will receive a published critical review, feature spotlight, and permanent archive on AVFRI.com.

 

By proceeding with payment, you confirm that you understand the submission fee guarantees a detailed evaluation report on your film's strengths and weaknesses, while public editorial feature and publication are reserved for selected films.
