CineBodega Film Fest (0)

Início do Festival: 22 Maio 2015      Fim do Festival: 24 Maio 2015

CineBodega Film Fest is a 3 day event celebrating low budget, micro budget, no budget, alternative, underground, underserved and underrepresented filmmakers from all over the world who are overlooked by festivals. Our passion is to showcase filmmakers who's work doesn't necessarily fit in neat little boxes. We are open to all genres and project lengths (Features, Shorts, Music Videos and Web Series). There will be Screenings and discussions with Filmmakers as well as workshops, a special tribute, a Latino themed showcase and music performances. The Primitive Stage in Woodland Hills, CA will host the CineBodega Film Fest and just 20 min from Hollywood (but much farther away in spirit). Submissions are only $5 ($10 late submissions) and only online will be accepted. You can submit as many films as you like. We understand what a no budget filmmaker goes through.

Cinebodega also hosts monthly screenings. When submitting to the festival your entry will also be considered for one of our monthly film events.

The Cinebodega final deadline is April 3rd, 2015 (CineBodega monthly film submissions are ongoing - no deadline). We welcome everybody! Submit today!

Awards and prizes will be announced shortly.

guardian submit on your behalf).

Online submissions only - High Quality via www.festhome.com, a bio, synopsis, .jpg's of the film art or poster and stills would be great, a link will do. (don't waste your money on DVD copies and printing up stuff!)

We accept films in all languages but they must have english subtitles (we can give you tips on how to do that cheaply).

All entered films must be the original work of the filmmaker or filmmakers. (Don't send us a link to El Mariachi - we've already seen it 47 times and we know you didn't make it).

You must have a trailer for your work (1-3 min - anything longer is a short - edit that!).

Works in progress are permitted (without final sound mixing, titles, graphics or color correction and sound mixing) but the version you send first will be the one we consider. Don't send us a note saying how the FX will make all the difference - just wait for next year's festival. Or roll the dice! It's up to you.

You will be notified on the status of your submission by April 21st. It is your responsibility to contact us or check your emails if you haven't heard from us. Check that spam folder, kid!

If selected you must send us a high quality digital file, blu-ray or DVD by May 12th.If we don't get the materials in time we reserve the right to remove your film from the line up. Don't be that person.
