The Zanzibar International Film festival (ZIFF) has hit a new
landmark for African film festivals as it becomes the first festival
on the continent to have their film submissions totally online,
and for a very low fee.
With the growth of the Internet many film festivals have utilised
the new found capacity to receive films online and reduce the
time it took to select films. Festival programmers will now begin
to watch films before the end of the submission period and give
themselves ample time to watch films carefully and diligently.
“The Festival is no longer accepting film submissions in hard
copy for filmmakers outside Tanzania. Tanzanian filmmakers
and producers will have one year of grace to submit their films
both electronically and in hard copy and they won’t be charged
a fee”, said Daniel Nyalusi ZIFF Festival Manager.
“ZIFF has signed with Festhome, an international platform
through which filmmakers from all over the world submit films
to film festivals”, explained Nyalusi, “For less than the cost of a
typical festival submission, we guarantee that your film will be
viewed and in good time”.
Now people can send a Password protected Vimeo file of any
format and submit it online.
The ZIFF festival provides an invaluable platform for filmmakers
to showcase their craft to an international viewing audience.
ZIFF2015, still sponsored by ZUKU, will take place between
and 26th
18th
January, 2015, this includes Bongo Movies.
July 2015. Deadline for Submission is 31st
