Submissions are now open for the 2014 Seen and Heard Festival in Melbourne.
Seen & Heard Film Festival is dedicated to celebrating the diverse and immense works from women working in an industry that under-represents their art.
We are currently taking film submissions from any female-identifying filmmaker (including directors, producers, editors, cinematographers, screenwriters, and production designers) wishing to apply. Shorts or features, animation, genre, documentary, comedy, experimental, horror, musicals, sci-fi, drama, silent cinema, and more are all welcome for what promises to be a thrilling and diverse festival in Melbourne, 2014.
Please note that premieres will be looked upon favourably, however we are happy to receive submissions that have screened at other festivals as well.
