The independent film festival Otherworldly 3.0 is now accepting submissions. This season's main theme is transition.
We are looking for films that take place on the threshold and linger in the gap between what is here, what is no longer with us, and what is yet to come. We want to see how transition grows through the very fabric of the image — in editing, rhythm, sound, silence, and in how the camera touches the world or averts its gaze from it.
Autumn/Winter Open Call - we are now accepting submissions for our next editions of MicroActs, evenings of artist short film!
This open call is for our next two editions of 2026, which will take place in September & December this year. Each edition will showcase a selection of exciting & inspiring Artist Film from all over the world; the selected submissions will be notified which edition they are curated in.
Liminal Archive is an experimental festival for moving images at the edge of memory, reality, and Asia's political histories.
The festival will take place in Autumn and includes a series of programs such as screenings, talks, and workshops.
We are seeking: * Short or feature-length projects * Experimental works that expand the boundaries of non-fiction filmmaking * Artist film series / ongoing practices
“We step into and do not step into the same rivers; we are and are not.” Heraclitus ; if not our model, then the radiant thought, a precursor to the experimental work. Plato recounts this in the Cratylus: “Heraclitus says that everything flows and nothing remains; and, comparing things to the current of a river, he adds that you cannot step into the same river twice.”
Experimenta, the international festival for experimental film and moving image art in India, invites filmmakers from Asia to submit their films.
In its 13th edition, the festival seeks films that challenge conventional modes of cinema and extend the parameters of genre and form. Moving image works defined as fiction or non-fiction or hybrid or none of these are welcome.
Experimenta does not charge a submission fee.
The deadline for receipt of submissions is 5th July 2026.
