Its categories are short films under 20 minutes, long films over 20 minutes and EFFA Lab. Films previously programmed at EFFA are generally ineligible. Environmental subjects include waste, air, water, pollution, living conditions, green spaces and fauna; multidisciplinary approaches are accepted.\n\nEFFA Lab films must be shot in the Balkans and may be of any length. A film previously shown at another festival is ineligible for EFFA Lab but may enter the short or long film competition. Entrants must secure permission for copyrighted material.\n\nThe 2017 application requires a viewing link or film sent by email, two images, an English synopsis and the intended category.
