We look forward to receiving your entries for EMAF 2027!
Starting now, recent works for the Film, Installation, and Expanded sections can be submitted via our online platform (link in bio) for EMAF 2027.
Please note the following change:
The call for entries will close as soon as 2,200 entries have been received, or no later than December 15, 2026.
This is in response to the significant increase in submissions in recent years. We are very pleased to see this growing interest in the festival. However, it is also important to us that we be able to devote the necessary time and attention to all works and projects submitted during the review process. For this reason, we have decided to limit the number of submissions.
Entries will continue to be free of charge.
Below is a brief overview of the sections:
FILM
Experimental films of any length and on any subject
From these, we will select entries for the International Selection (short and medium-length films) and the Features section. Films must have been completed no earlier than 2026. There is no requirement for a premiere.
INSTALLATION
Installative, interactive, site-specific, or sculptural media artworks
Contributions to the exhibition will be selected from these entries. They must have been completed no earlier than 2026 and must relate to the theme of the 2027 festival. The focus is on the archive as an instrument of knowledge production, a site of critical intervention, and a space for alternative visions of the future.
EXPANDED
Performances, live events, or workshops
Submissions in this category will be considered for inclusion in either the performance program or the talks & workshops program, depending on their concept and thematic focus.
Application deadline: December 15, 2026 (or earlier, once 2,200 entries have been submitted)
