Dear Film/Video Makers;

Re: Submission Guidelines for Queer City Cinema 2006 Festival (biennial)

The next festival dates are Apri/May 2006. The festival tour (Canadian works only) will occur in June, 2006.


REQUIREMENTS:

1. Only 1/2" VHS (NTSC or PAL) videotapes will be accepted for preview.
DO NOT send master tapes or film prints for preview screening.

2. Preview tapes must be labelled with the title, running time and
contact info (including name, address and phone number).

3. Works submitted in languages other than English must be subtitled or
accompanied by an English transcript.

4. Do not send submissions in fibre-filled envelopes. The dust damages
videotapes and VCRs.

5. All submissions must be received by January 15, 2006. You will be notified of final programming decisions by March 15, 2006.

6. All preview tapes will be added to the Queer City Cinema archives unless
accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelope (for submissions from
outside Canada please use International Postal Coupons) and a request
for return.

7. IF YOU ARE SENDING WORK FROM OUTSIDE CANADA, PLEASE INDICATE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE PACKAGE FOR FESTIVAL PREVIEW, NO COMMERCIAL VALUE OR YOU MAY BE REQUIRED TO PAY CUSTOMS DUTIES.

8. DO NOT SEND WORK VIA UPS (UNITED PARCEL SERVICE) AS THEY CHARGE LARGE CUSTOMS FEES WHICH THE FESTIVAL WILL NOT PAY, AND YOUR TAPE WILL BE RETURNED.
