NOTE: The festival has created a hybrid festival with 4 tiers to enhance your film and your festival experience. All accepted films receive all four tier options:
Tier #1 – Your film plays at either a public live event where we will record the audience reactions of your short or feature and then send you the feedback video. Or, it plays at a private festival event where the audience will record their comments/reactions to your film on their camera or phone, then we edit them and send you a promotional video. No matter what you will receive a promotional video of your film of people commenting on your film.
Tier #2 – We put up your film live on the Film Festival Streaming Service for 30 hours and invite a select industry audience to watch it. With this system, some films have already received a distribution deal as many platforms are looking for solid feature and short films. We can not guarantee anything of course but this has been very helpful to many in the past. (see testimonials below)
Then (Tier #3) we will send you a list of questions to answer for our blog interview that will promote you and your film. Then after that (Tier #4) we will set up a podcast interview on our popular ITunes show where will we chat with you about the process of how the film was made.

The goal of this festival is to showcase the best of new experimental short films and independent music videos from around the world. Films that don’t get a fair shake from other film festivals because programmers don’t know where to “categorize” these films. There isn’t a typical linear story occurring so most festivals can’t truly understand the talent and beauty around these films.
We want to showcase films that showcase true originality and talent from filmmakers from every corner of the globe. And also showcase new musicians who have made a music video and want it to be shown.
Go to the Daily Film Festival Platform http://www.wildsound.ca and sign up for the free 7 day trial to watch a new and original festival every single day.

EARTHLOVE, 6min., Sweden
Directed by Felicia Konrad, Johan Haugen
EarthLove is a poetic music/dance film with 6 dancers, filmed in the city of Malmö, south of Sweden. “There’s a revolution that needs to happen and it starts from inside each one of us. We need to wake up and fall in love with Earth. We’ve been homo sapiens for a long time. Now it’s time to become homo conscious.” Thich Nhat Hanh

Review by Andie Karvelis:
We all reside on this little blue rock called Earth. It’s our only home and it gives us so much. Oceans to swim in, grass to play in, trees that provide oxygen, plants that give us sustenance and so much more. If we don’t take care of our home, who will.
Swedish filmmakers and musicians, Kent Olofsson and Felicia Konrad have designed this love letter to the earth through music and dance. Set inside this lush, green forest with a gorgeous pergola, it is the perfect place to film this piece. The Cinematographer, Benjamin Zadig, made excellent use of this beautiful location.
There’s a wonderful contrast between the landscape and the dancers all dressed in bright colors and patterns. The clashing colors all fit the choreography and add to the persona of each dancer. Musically this takes you in so many unexpected directions while using a unique ebb and flow of dissonance. It’s whimsical, heartfelt and has a kind of psychedelic vibe to it that makes you want to just embrace nature and dance.
