Today, on 1 December 2021 the entry for film submissions to the 18th BuSho Film Festival has opened.

There has been some important changes in the rules and the online entry system so please read it carefully.

The most important one is that you can submit your films only through our Filmfreeway platform. The easiest way to find us on Filmfreeway is to click on the ‘submit’ button from the top bar. The registration for Filmfreeway is free, and takes only a couple of seconds. As soon as you have your account, you can also submit your film to BuSho.

The submission deadline has also been changed to 1 March 2022, and as a result, the announcement of the competition program and the submission of screening copies will also change, we will come with details later.

We also have some things that haven’t changed though.

We are still looking for fiction, animation and experimental films from all over the world. These must be shorter than 30 minutes and have to be made after 1 January 2020.  

We would like to ask all entrants to have a reminder engraved for themselves due to spam filters in different mail systems, and if you do not receive the notification, take a look at our website where we publish all the important info.

You can find detailed information about submitting process as well as the rules & regulations on ‘how to apply‘ page.

If you have any questions about the application process, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
