Call for submissions for the Play the Fool International Film Festival, launching April 1st 2022.
Submit your film through FilmFreeway using YouTube or Vimeo Film links of shorts (no trailers), 2 minutes (max) including credits. We’re very serious about the 2 minute maximum… NO EXCEPTIONS!
Films can be of any genre with a clown/physical comedy component; red nose, mask, dance comedy, bouffon, character pieces, comedy burlesque, drag, acrobatics, slapstick, puppetry, animation, or the undefinable. Our jury does not typically select horror films for screening.
