The ESFF has drawn film entries from around the world making this an impressive event that has entertained film lovers since 2009. We are currently inviting filmmakers to submit their short films (20 minutes in length including credits) for competition in our festival. Any filmmaker may submit work, even if it has been entered into other festival competitions! We encourage submitting films in every genre and subject matter as long as they are within the scope of the official rules. $50 entry fee for submission by the deadline of August 23. $40 early submission fee if submitted by August 2.
