So the Video Festival has become non-competitive, and we have an abundant number of wonderful submissions. We air the Festival as often as good submissions warrant. Any type of video suitable for airing on television is appropriate for this Festival. Yes, we are an educational channel, but for purposes of the Festival, artistic and experimental pieces, narratives, prototypes of any kind of program will be considered on an equal footing with documentaries or informational videos. The idea is to showcase both amateur and professional videomakers in the metropolitan area.
Selection is made by a panel of qualified judges.
When the festival is aired, we interweave commentary and videomaker interviews with the selected videos. We consider only videos of 30 minutes or less for the Festivals. Longer videos may be submitted for airing as stand-alone programs, but generally must be very strong to be selected. Your status as an amateur or metro area resident will not earn extra consideration for airing of longer programs. Evidence of rights to use music, film clips, photos, brand name products, etc.
