Call for Submissions for 2023 Chesapeake Film Festival
We Want Your Work for the Best Film Fest on the Eastern Shore!
In 2023 our LIVE Festival events will premiere on Saturday, September 30 at the historic Avalon Theatre with a second LIVE day at the Ebenezer Theater on Sunday, October 1 in downtown Easton. A 7-day Virtual Festival will follow from Monday, October 2 through Sunday, October 8.
We have just launched an Open Call for film submissions on Film Freeway! The CFF will be honoring Student Films this year with a $500 scholarship to the student awarded Best Student Short, which is an exciting new scholarship opportunity for emerging filmmakers. Also
central to our message is to highlight both environmental films, women’s achievement and social activism in independent cinema. For balance, we are also seeking films that are light-hearted and upbeat with comedic themes.
To submit your film and learn more about our festival, visit our FilmFreeway webpage, by clicking on the button below:
