Our deadline for our New York festival is June 30, 2024 for short narratives and documentaries, and August 31, 2024 for feature length films (fictions or documentaries). However, please submit your films as soon as possible to be considered for all ADIFF 2024 festivals and film series.
There is no entry fee. Filmmakers will be notified only if their film is selected.
Please note that ADIFF will select in priority films that have their city premiere in ADIFF.
Please fill out the entry form HERE and send it back with a DVD screener – or screening link – to ADIFF, 535 Cathedral Parkway Suite 14B, New York, NY 10025.
All filmmakers are welcome to submit their films, regardless of their age, gender, mental or physical disability, race, national origin, religion or sexual orientation.
However, only culturally relevant films – with high production values, a great story line, and a meaningful social commentary – that spotlight the human experience of people of color will be considered for selection.
