Odds and Ends Experimental Film Festival Call for Submissions

Odds & Ends is an experimental film festival located in Charlottesville, Virginia. The festival will hold its inaugural screening on April 29th, 2023 at the Vinegar Hill Theatre and will be presented by Light House Studio.

We seek films and videos that push formal and conceptual boundaries, allowing for multiple ways of understanding and interpretation. Our aim is to celebrate a diverse range of films that work across modes and genres, addressing the materiality of the medium from poetic, personal, or political perspectives. We welcome everyone, especially innovative works by emerging filmmakers that work outside of commercial structures.

ELIGIBILITY & DEADLINE

Films should be 15:00 minutes or less, and completed after Jan. 1st, 2020. Submit your film by February 15th, 2023 (earlybird submission) or March 8, 2023 (regular submission).

There is a $10 earlybird deadline submission fee, and a $20 regular deadline submission fee. Please note: films over 15:00 minutes will not be considered for the program and will not be refunded.
