Open for Submissions

Silent City Film Festival proudly accepts entries on FilmFreeway, the world's #1 way to enter film festivals and creative contests.

We’re looking for…

Features

Narrative and documentary films that in some way have music as a focus. Music in movies isn't just documentaries on bands or musicals with wall-to-wall singing (although those are welcome, send them in!)... we're looking for feature films that explore the relationship between music and film in fresh and exciting ways. Musicals and docs on musicians are indeed welcome, as are movies with soundtracks playing an integral part in the experience of the film as a whole (think Drive). Rock operas, performance pieces, experimental film, we're looking for fellow explorers pushing the boundaries of where music and motion pictures meet, overlap, and interplay.

Shorts

Short films exploring the interplay of music and motion images in fresh and interesting ways. As in our feature category, we're looking for short films that utilize music in all sorts of ways: traditional documentaries on musicians, musicals and rock operas, as well as experimental, performance, and video art work traversing and pushing the boundaries where music and motion images meet.

Music Videos

Everyone loves music videos, and yet, venues for exploring and growing the medium have sorely dwindled over the years. Music videos will be a cornerstone of Silent City Film Festival. We're interested in music videos from any genre, in any style, as long as envelopes are being pushed we want to see them!
