As most of the world is shutting down due to self isolations and quarantine, we would like to extend an offer to anyone interested in participating in the Quarantine International Film Festival !
10 Short films from around the globe will be selected to be uploaded to the QIFF Youtube Channel and promoted on social media. This is a "for fun" festival as a way to help people feel creatively fulfilled during isolation caused by COVID-19.
All Selected films and filmmakers will receive:
-Our official selection Laurel
-Promotion on all of the QIFF Social media Pages (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram)
-Uploaded onto our Youtube Channel on April 8th and added to our playlist
Have fun, and create! That's what is most Important!
Our rules are simple, but we ask people to take into consideration the events unfolding around them, and to obey all city and country bylaws and precautions. If it is recommended in your area to be isolated, film something at home with your smartphone or a we**am. If your area isn’t under these conditions, then make it with a few friends. Safety is key though, and we will be judging each submission based on how creative they were given their circumstances (So don’t worry about gathering a crew).
