CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: 2009 GASPARILLA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
The Gasparilla International Film Festival (GIFF) is now accepting submissions for the 3rd annual Festival, taking place over 10 days from Thursday, February 26th- Saturday, March 7th, 2009. The Fest is Tampa Bay's largest independent film festival!  

GIFF is returning this year bigger and better than ever, with 5 separate screening venues in
Tampa and St. Petersburg, and over 120 films on display.

Planners of the event have expanded the scope of the Festival beyond the
Americas by becoming truly international and considering submissions from around the world.   GIFF will maintain its popular Cuban sidebar- a nod to Tampa's Cuban heritage and one of the most exciting elements of the fest. Additionally, organizers are introducing a separate documentary section.  A section dedicated solely to Florida film entries is sure to receive plenty of attention.  Also returning, is the "Fun and Fear" category, which is an outrageous combination of both horror and comedy.  The section is one of the fest's most popular and in 2008 attracted legendary Filmmakers Hershell Gordon Lewis and David Friedman and their internationally recognized and historic cult classic "Blood Feast."

By virtue of doubling the length of the Festival, GIFF will be offering more this year in the way of filmmaker panels, networking events with potential distributors and filmgoers and, as always, plenty of fun and sun! Many of the films featured at past Gasparilla International Film Festivals have gone onto both television and cinematic release.  

Filmmakers wishing to participate in the festival should submit their film prior to December 1, 2008 by entering online at http://www.withoutabox.com/login/5440, or visiting the fest's website at http://www.gasparillafilmfestival.com for a complete listing of all available categories.
