Deadline Today to Submit to the Festival via FilmFreeway:

Honored to be a selection and award winner! Fantastic festival that goes above and beyond most others, including audience feedback, interviews, podcasts and transparent communication with the organizers. Opportunities for further collaboration as well. I would definitely submit again!

This film festival was an amazing experience from start to finish—seamless streaming, thoughtful programming, and engaging feedback from audience members. I was honored that my film received Best Choreography for their September event, and I couldn’t imagine a more supportive and creative platform to share work with a global community.

The Experimental, Dance & Music Film Festival provided a truly supportive experience for my project Demons. The communication was clear and professional, and the submission process was smooth and easy to navigate. I appreciated how the festival highlighted unique voices in poetry and experimental film, giving space for projects that might not fit into traditional categories.

It was exciting to see my work recognized and included, and I felt that the organizers genuinely cared about celebrating creativity and artistic risk-taking. This is a festival that values innovation and authenticity, and I would definitely recommend it to other filmmakers exploring experimental or cross-genre storytelling.

NIGHT SHIFT, 29min,. Ukraine
Directed by Megumi Lim
In the still hours of Kharkiv’s curfewed nights, a quiet resilience hums through its empty streets. Night Shift is a short film about people who work under the cover of darkness, navigating both routine and risk as Russia often attacks when residents try to sleep. Those who stay awake to work do so for the city’s survival. The film explores how nighttime in Ukraine’s second largest city has transformed because of war, its nightly hope that dawn will arrive quietly, and the human need to carry on.
