The deadline for film submissions has come and gone. Thank you to all who have submitted. We have a sack full to the brim of films which would rival Father Christmas himself! We will be hunkering down by the fire to watch them over the coming weeks. We will let filmmakers know whether their work has been chosen in the new year.
