Is My Project
Eligible to Submit?
Docs in Progress considers submissions of independent documentaries at the
rough cut stage (no trailers, six hour layouts, or completed
works).
We
accept submissions of both shorts and features (note that we may only be
able to screen up to 70 minutes of a feature).
There
is currently no fee to submit your film for consideration.
Although
we define "documentary" rather broadly and may screen
documentaries with dramatized, experimental, political, or advocacy
elements, we do not screen pure fictions films, mockumentaries, music
videos, industrials, or works that are purely promotional in nature.
Filmmakers do not have to be based in the Washington DC area, but must
be able to attend the screening night at your own expense, and must be open to listening to
constructive criticism.
The
preview copy of a film must be available in VHS or DVD. Films can
be screened in Beta-SP, S-VHS, Mini-DV, VHS, or DVD (for DVDs, we will also
require a tape backup).
We accept submissions on a rolling basis, but cannot guarantee consideration for the next screening if submitted after the deadline.
