Thanks to everyone who submitted a film for consideration in the 2021 Kingston Canadian Film Festival. We’ll be reviewing films and making final programming decisions early in 2021.
Created by students in highschool or younger
less than 30 minutes
We’ve extended the deadline to January 15, 2021 for Youth Shorts only (short films created by students in highschool and younger).
Feature Films: presentation formats are composite DCP (jpeg200mxf) and BluRay.
Short Films: we require a digital copy of your film to be used for festival screening purposes. An online link to an HD .mp4 file using the H264 codec is the preferred format. The video link must be active until March 11, 2020. For more information follow Vimeo’s compression guidelines for HD films.
Available press materials must be shipped to KCFF upon notification of selection.
The filmmaker grants permission for the use of all publicity materials (including preview BluRays and DVDs) to be used for promotional purposes unless otherwise noted.
