Kinodot Experimental Film Festival

The published 2020 regulations provide for a Kinodot Jury Prize for the best experimental film, chosen by a professional international jury. From 2020, the cash prize is replaced by an offered screening fee of US$40 for every film selected for the competition. The official festival archive also records jury special mentions.

Published regulations for the 2020 edition; the submission period is closed. The competition has one category, experimental film, with no genre, subject or length restrictions. The English regulations accept films completed on or after 15 January 2018. The entry deadline is 28 February 2020 and the entry fee is US$10. Submissions are through FilmFreeway or Festhome. Minimalist films receive preference, but the original No Money, No Mumbling, No Music and No Montage criteria are no longer mandatory. By submitting, copyright holders agree that a selected film may receive up to four screenings during the festival and up to two additional screenings during the following two years at non-commercial Kinodot promotional events. Film stills and excerpts of up to 30 seconds may be used in the festival trailer and promotional materials.
