#QCShorts 2023 Calls for Submissions

 

QCinema International Film Festival is now accepting submissions for #QCShorts 2024. The festival is offering six production grants, each valued at P350,000, to support emerging filmmakers. Deadline is on February 25, 2024, 11:59 PM.

 

All Filipino citizens aged 18 and above are qualified to submit their narrative fiction, animation, or experimental entries, with a maximum total running time (TRT) of 20 minutes, including opening and closing credits.

 

The final film output must have its world premiere in this year’s edition of QCinema. In addition to screenings during QCinema 2024, both theatrical and online, QCinema reserves the right to screen the film after the festival, with prior notice to the proponent. 

 

Rights to the final film output belong to the proponent. 

 

Applicants must submit two PDF files: a full script in standard screenwriting format and a full deck containing the logline, short synopsis (maximum of 3 paragraphs), long synopsis (maximum 1-page concept treatment), director’s statement, director’s profile, producer’s profile, producer’s statement, sample works (project details with link/s, including access credentials for password-protected files), proposed cast and crew, line item budget (pre-production, actual production and postproduction costs), financial plan, and timeline of production.

 

Only one entry per proponent (either the director or producer) is allowed. 

 

Filmmaker proponents and co-financiers must abide by QCinema festival rules, guidelines, deadlines, and contracts. In case of violations, QCinema reserves the right to disqualify the filmmaker or proponent and forfeit the entire grant. 

 

The festival also reminds everyone to adhere to health and safety protocols. QCinema will not be liable for any untoward incidents during production. Also, use of original literary sources, music materials, and film footage must have proper clearance from its respective copyright owners before it can be used in the final film output
