BEFORE SUBMITTING:
While we consider all genres, if you’re unsure if your film fits our programming, please review our archives.
Studios and Sales Agents: Please do not submit to MIFA if you require a fee for screening at MIFA. As a non-profit arts organization, it is not in our budget.

IF ACCEPTED TO MIFA:

OUR PLEDGE TO THE FILMMAKER:
1: MIFA promises to watch each submission, from start to finish. Guaranteed. You took the time to submit your project to MIFA and we’ll take the time to watch it. (Please note that your Vimeo counter will not take into account views if embedded into FilmFreeway.com)
2: At the end of each submission period, and during the final weeks of our selection process, MIFA will regularly update the main contact on the status of the film. If you change your email address, please be sure to update KurdistanInternationalIndependentFilmFestival. Additionally, we ask that you add (internationalfilmawards.team@gmail.com) to your address book, follow @Mojo_ifa on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram and please do not unsubscribe from our email list until films have been selected. This will ensure you receive all communications from MIFA during the submission period.
3: Mifa will never share your contact information, or any part of your film, with a third party without your permission.
4: Upon request, MIFA will extend screening notes to filmmakers, after the festival has ended.
