Entry Categories

The final deadline for film submission for the 2010 Cornwall Film Festival has now passed and we are no longer accepting late entries.

 
 
CORNISH SHORTS / FEATURES
 We take pride in the thriving Cornish film industry, and a key aim of the Festival is showcasing films where at least one of the creative team (writer, director, producer) is resident in Cornwall. 
 
We now also accept films that have a strong link to Cornwall or Cornish culture by non-resident filmmakers – e.g., a film that has been wholly or mostly shot in Cornwall. We accept films of all genres, including experimental/non-narrative. Films approximately 20 minutes long or under will be eligible for the Best Film of the Festival Jury Award.
 
All Cornish films are eligible for the Festival Favourite Award and the Delabole Slate Film of the Festival Awards.
