- 28th Annual FLIFF October 18 - November 11, 2013
- FLIFF On-Location: Sunrise October 19 - November 9, 2013

- FLIFF On-Location: Grand Bahama Island October 24 - 27, 2013
- FLIFF On-Location: St Augustine January 16 - 19, 2014
...and if that isn't enough, for a commercial run at Cinema Paradiso (FLIFF's year-round arthouse).

Your Entry
Send a DVD in a padded envelope.
Do not go crazy sealing or taping your package.
Do not send in a padded envelope that has stuffing (we hate those things and they gunk up our playback units).
If you are a student, you must submit the name of your school to be listed in the catalog. And don't make us go hunting for that info...use a Sharpie and write it directly on your DVD.
If possible (and we know it is), don't have a paper sticker on your DVD.
Do not send your package with Signature Required...if you do, we cannot guarantee we will schlep to the Post Office to pick it up. Its a pain...and we remember that when we are reviewing your entry!
