Early Bird Deadline Approaches for Cellar Door Film Festival!

The Cellar Door Film Festival (CDFF) wants to remind filmmakers that the early bird deadline to submit for the inaugural edition of the festival is July 15th.  2014 promises to be a strong year for Ottawa's first festival of speculative cinema. The CDFF team is very excited by the range of local, national, and international films that have been submitted thus far, so it encourages prospective filmmakers to submit and be a part of an impressive first year. The early bird deadline allows filmmakers to submit a short film for only $15 and features for only $25, while Ottawa filmmakers may also submit a short film for free before this date. Regular submissions will still be accepted during the final month of the submission window, which ends August 15th.

CDFF invites filmmakers to submit speculative films of both short and feature length, which include, but are not limited to, films made within the genres of: horror, thriller, science fiction, fantasy, avant-garde, experimental, the supernatural, alternative history, mystery, grindhouse cinema, and everything else in between.

In order to facilitate as many submissions as possible CDFF offers two submission methods: 1) upload your film online via Festhome or 2) submit a hardcopy by mail. 

For full details regarding deadlines, entry forms, requirements, and fees, please visit our submissions page.

We hope to open the Cellar Door and see your film at our festival in Fall 2014.
