The Zanzibar International Film Festival (ZIFF), which runs from 14 to 22 June, is
accepting applications from African filmmakers (including the African Diaspora)
and films from the Dhow Countries’ region, including India, Pakistan, South East
Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, The Persian Gulf, and the Indian Ocean Islands.
European, North American and Australian films may also be submitted out of
competition, however, all documentary films are viable for competition. All films
that are submitted must have been produced after June 2011.
ZIFF reserves the right to accept any film with specific interest to the festival,
while priority will be given to films that reflect “the theme of global cultural
interaction, cultural encounters or sociocultural commentary’.
According to the organisers, these films will be given importance and filmmakers
are encouraged to submit works in any genre. ZIFF will also accept submissions
of works in progress, although they must be semi-completed by no later than 1
April 2014.
