CINE LAS AMERICAS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
Festival Location: Austin
Ideal Film Submissions: We showcase contemporary films and videos from Latin America (North, Central, South America, and the Caribbean) and the Iberian Peninsula. Films and videos made by or about Latinxs in the U.S. or the rest of the world, as well as films and videos by or about Indigenous groups of the Americas.
Film Submission Pet Peeves: Submitting films that have already screened in Austin, or have been broadcast with coverage in Austin, and films that are readily available for viewing openly online. Especially, when that information hasn’t been disclosed to us.
Cucalorus doesn’t have a lot of pet peeves. It just likes creativity.
Festival Location: Wilmington, North Carolina
Ideal Film Submissions: Cucalorus loves filmmakers who are taking risks and telling new stories. We embrace artists who are outrageous, wildly weird, and passionately strange — and especially films directed by women, Black and Brown filmmakers, and Indigenous artists. The ideal submission is an observational portrait that is both funny and expansive, experimental but also accessible, that encourages us to be braver and bolder while also comforting us about the strange world around us.
Film Submission Pet Peeves:We love pets! We’ve been dreaming of a few pygmy goats or maybe a baby giraffe. Please send instructions. Do not send peeves. We don’t like.
