Cosmic Rays is an annual celebration of non-commercial short films that extend the idea of film as art. 

We welcome short work (20 minutes or less) that:

• Experiments with the formal possibilities of film and video.
• Explores hybrid forms and the hard-to-describe spaces between filmmaking modes and genres.
• Speaks with a personal or poetic voice, or explores novel ways of telling stories.
• Eschews convention and commerce.
• Has utopian aspirations and weird friends.
