aGLIFF Trailer Competition

We are currently accepting submissions for the aGLIFF Movie Trailer Competition in celebration of the Austin Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival's 21st year.

The competition is open to the international film community and continues a tradition of soliciting local filmmakers to create unique three minute or less movie trailers that convey aGLIFF's festival theme of diversity and inclusiveness.

Aligned with our commitment to promote high-quality gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) films, the aGLIFF Trailer Competition allows an opportunity for members of our community to have their work featured prominently to a captive audience!

Winners will receive a film festival pass and will have their trailer screened in rotation throughout the festival.

Entries (DVD) should be sent to aGLIFF Trailer Competition, 1216 E. 51st St, Austin TX 78723, and must be postmarked by July 10, 2008.
