British Council overseas festival service
The British Council’s Film and Television Department promotes British films to audiences outside the UK.
As a key part of this work the Department views and selects submitted films and makes recommendations to festivals around the world. Filmmakers have to complete festival entry forms but the Department then looks after the handling and shipment of forms, tapes and film prints as a free service.
A film submission form is now downloadable from the British Council website, to be returned with a video for the Department’s consideration.
