London International Animation Festival
September 2010

Submissions for LIAF10 are now open!
DEADLINE > TUESDAY 19 JANUARY 2010

The London International Animation Festival (LIAF) is one of the largest animation festivals in the world. It usually screens around 350 films each year in competitive, student, curated and retrospective programmes. LIAF generates a smaller touring festival around the UK and one-off special screenings for other worldwide festivals. When you submit your film to LIAF, your film is automatically considered for all of these events, although we will send you separate and specific invitations if we wish to screen your film outside of LIAF.

There is no fee to enter LIAF.

To be considered eligible for selection in LIAF10, your film should have been completed
AFTER 1 January 2008.
The Festival Director reserves the right to grant exceptions to this criteria in exceptional circumstances.

YOUR FILM MUST ARRIVE IN A FORMAT THAT CAN BE VIEWED BY
PRE-SELECTORS AND THE JURY MEMBERS.
Please supply a DVD (we prefer PAL / all regions) or VHS (PAL and NTSC)
that can be played in a DVD player and viewed on a TV screen.

We cannot accept the following for pre-selection:
- internet downloads or files
- youtube/website links
- computer files
- Quicktime files
- Flash files
- betacams
- digibetas
- miniDV
- film prints

DVDs are unreliable devices, so please test your copy thoroughly before submitting it. We will generally NOT contact entrants who provide an unplayable DVD, and the submission will be rejected.

An Entry Form must accompany each entry and must have all required information supplied. We require at least two digital stills for every film that screens in the festival, and ask entrants to please provide these stills at the time of entry.

FOR FULL GUIDELINES, PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE ENTRY FORM.
