CALL FOR ENTRIES
Anchorage International Film Festival
December 2 - 11, 2005
ENTRY deadline: Sept. 1, 2005


Anchorage is a small to medium-sized city crouching on the edge of the
howling Alaskan wilderness, surrounded by mountains and edged by a frigid
and restless sea. It?s far away from Cannes, Sundance, Toronto, and people
up here are proud of the fact they do things a little differently from the
rest of the world. Independence has always been regarded as an asset and
that quality remains a common character trait, even today. The Anchorage
Film Festival is going into its 5th year, and in our call for entries the
founders would like invite you to participate in a festival that is unlike
any other. The enthusiasm, sophistication and passion of our audiences
will surprise you, the integrity of our judging process is second to none,
yet, it is still possible for your film to stand out as, admittedly, we
are not overwhelmed by the quantity of entries that must besiege the
larger festivals. Besides, up here in the winter, we really don't have
that much to do, so immersing ourselves in the selection process and
gorging on the vibrant visions of filmmakers is actually a guilty pleasure
for us. We have been visited by the LA Film Festival, Seattle Film Fest,
the Sundance Channel, Hypnotic Films, and we were featured in Premiere
magazine, and in Canal+ European broadcasted documentary "Around the
World in 25 Film Festivals".

We urge you to submit your films and join the other independent filmmakers
who have been pleasantly surprised by this so-called sleepy little city by
the sea. Thank you. (AIFF, 501c3 NonProfit)
