Film Submissions Now Open
Sled Island’s film programming focuses on independent shorts, narrative features and documentaries screened in nontraditional venues. We are interested in films that have a strong relationship to music, but this is not a requirement. For 2015, we are accepting submissions of shorts and feature-length films from the following genres: animation, comedy, documentary.
To submit a film for consideration in the 2015 festival, please fill out a submission form by February 5, 2015 at 11:59pm MST.
Don’t forget - band submissions are open, too! Apply today!
