Norwescon's Fandance Film Festival

Every year, Norwescon is thrilled to share work by our members. The Festival is usually Sunday morning and lasts several hours (depending on how many entries we receive).

The Rules

  1. Filmmakers must be Norwescon members and should be present at the convention to introduce their movie(s)
  2. Movies should be ten minutes or shorter.
  3. Movies should be appropriate genre films for Norwescon.
  4. Submissions should be on VHS videotape or DVD-R or MiniDV tape
  5. There will probably be no prizes, but the judges urge you to not consider this a deterrent to the occasional bribe. Pop-Tarts, for example.
  6. Entries should be sent to The Fandance Film Festival c/o Guerrilla Productions, 11105 SW Cottonwood Lane, Tigard, OR 97223. Please do NOT send submissions to any other address, as no one will know what to do with them.
  7. Submission deadline is March 13, 2006. Submission fee: none. Late deadline is April 1, 2006. Late submissions may be treated scornfully. Late submission fee: a very good excuse. Handwritten.
  8. All entries must include submitter's name, address, phone number, title of piece, length of piece, and a signed and dated statement declaring "I release all rights to broadcast/display/present this movie to Norwescon for the purposes of the Fandance Film Festival and other supporting situations/advertisement ONLY, including the right to duplicate it for mechanical/projection purposes.", and anything else you think we should know. Entries can be picked back up at the film festival.
  9. The people running this film festival are fairly responsible, but imperfect, being composed entirely of meat. Therefore, they might make mistakes. In fact, they probably will. I mean, it's Sunday after a long con, so you should just expect a bit of goofing around. But we're doing our best, so please understand and have a little patience.
  10. Any questions can be sent to NWC at Guerrilla-Productions.org
Sincerely,

Edward Martin III
