AJC/ Seattle Jewish Film Festival currently accepting submissions for 5th

annual festival to be held March 11-19, 2000 in Seattle, Washington.

The Seattle Jewish Film Festival, presented by the Seattle Chapter of the

American Jewish Committee, is one of the top five Jewish film festivals in

the United States. This week-long festival features national and

international award-winning films and a full slate of guest speakers,

visiting filmmakers and educational forums. Other highlights include the

annual bagel and film brunch, special Opening and Closing Night programs and

FILMTalks!, a day-long diversity training workshop for area high school

students.

We are currently previewing films for our upcoming SJFF 2000 season. To be

considered, your film should in some way answer the question: "What does

being Jewish mean?"

HOW TO SUBMIT:

The Seattle Jewish Film Festival is a non-competitive, non-profit festival

with no entry fee for submission. We will consider all films received by

Jan. 1, 2000. However, there is no absolute submission deadline since any

films we receive after that date may still be considered for SJFF 2000 or

for SJFF 2001.

Mail a VHS preview copy, preferably NTSC (with English subtitles if

appropriate). PAL is also acceptable. Include promotional materials,

posters, still production photos, press reviews, and background materials

(English only). Final screening formats for the festival are: 35mm, 16mm,

beta sp.

All materials can be mailed to the address listed below. Preview copies

will not be returned unless postage and a return mailer is included.
