In conjunction with International Polar Week, the US Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (USAPECS) is hosting the sixth annual Polar Film Festival in September 2022. For five days, the Polar Film Festival will showcase several short videos on topics related to the Polar regions to the public and broader APECS community. Films will be hosted digitally on the USAPECS website each day during Polar Week. This year’s festival theme is Stories of Environmental and Social Change in the Polar Regions.
Deadline for film submissions is August 19th, 2022 at 11:59 pm ET.
If you would like to submit or suggest any short films or videos (1-30 minutes long) for viewing, please submit them using this google form. Submissions of independently created films (created by you or someone you know) are welcomed and encouraged. In the past, the film festival has featured works ranging from feature films and documentaries to independently-produced videos, interviews, and news reports, so the organizers welcome a diversity of submission types and topics.
The organizers are also looking for people to host in-person screenings this fall, so if you’re interested in doing so, please indicate this on the film submission form.
