How many titles are submitted each year?
Every year the Festival receives approximately 1000 submissions. Festival programmers learn about new works through attending other festivals, maintaining contacts with filmmakers and film centers in the U.S. and abroad, and conducting an international call for entries. In 1992, the Festival wove video into its programming; today, nearly three quarters of the submissions are in video format. The Festival is held in the fall, typically in November, and the submission period takes place in spring/summer. Entry forms can be downloaded from the Margaret Mead Film & Video Festival website at that time.
