Call for submissions: Toronto International Film Festival

Film submissions for the 40th annual Toronto International Film Festival, running from September 10-20, 2015, is now open. The deadline for submission is May 1. The late submission deadline is May 29.

The festival accepts films from Canada and anywhere around the world, both short films and features. This is their second year accepting international short films. To submit a film, you must register via Withoutabox.com.

TIFF prefers that all short and feature films presented are, at minimum, North American premieres. They will accept submissions that have already premiered in North America, but the film’s premiere status will be taken into consideration when final programming decisions are made.

The fees and dates are as follows:

Canadian Shorts (49 minutes or less) - regular deadline: $25 / late deadline: $55
Canadian Features (50 minutes or longer) - regular deadline: $55 / late deadline: $155
International Shorts (49 minutes or less) - regular deadline: $55 / late deadline: $85
International Features (50 minutes or longer) - regular deadline: $85 / late deadline: $115

Regular Deadline - May 1, 2015
Late Deadline – May 29, 2015

All deadlines are post-marked, meaning they must be in the mail before or on that date.
