Submit Your Film to the Sixth Annual Media That Matters Film Festival

Posted on September 29, 2005

If a film is made and no one sees it, does it make an impact? Submit your film to Media That Matters and be heard.

Media That Matters will bring your social-issue short to audiences around the world! Sixteen winners get an international distribution deal — DVD, broadcast, web streaming and hundreds of community screenings. Plus many films get cash awards. Media That Matters launches in NYC with a premiere and awards ceremony (previous presenters have included Tim Robbins, Chuck D and David Cross). The shorts are distributed to educators with a Teacher's Guide and integrated into activist campaigns all year long.

-The shorter the better! 8 minutes max
-All genres and youth media welcome
-Seeking films on Food Politics, Response to Katrina, LGBT Rights and more
-Cash awards

Extended Deadline: January 23, 2006
