The Film Zine

The Film Zine: Call For Submissions

We are creating an audio-visual publication and we need your help! We are looking for films, videos, photographs, audio, art, poetry, prose, and just about anything creative! We want to emphasise the audio-visual so while poetry and prose are accepted, we highly recommend poetry and prose readings (either filmed or just audio) to accompany the text. See below a breakdown of each category and the submission guidelines.

Categories:

Films: Films of up to 20 minutes in length can be submitted. These can be traditional films, filmed drama pieces, music videos, short snippets of your life etc. Please submit as a Youtube link (public or unlisted). 

Photographs/Artwork: Please include the title of the piece.

Audio: Any forms of audio such as soundscapes, music, poetry, or prose readings can be submitted. Please include the title of the piece.

Poetry: Poetry can be submitted as a .doc or .docx. Brownie points for poetry readings.

Prose: Prose can be submitted as a .doc or .docx. Brownie points for prose readings. Max. 2000 words.

Cover art: Cover art is not limited to traditional cover art but can entail videos or an interactive piece. The world is your oyster but please include the words ‘The Film Scene’ somewhere in your piece. If you are submitting a video as cover art, we request that it is no longer than a minute.
