In our 28th year, EIFF supports as many films and filmmakers as possible with a limited budget. The most difficult time of the year is when we send out non-acceptance e-mails or letters. We know how much your ‘cinematic baby’ means to you. And many times, we have to pass on films simply because we don’t have enough screens to program everything. So my advice is to ‘let go’ and trust that we will do our very best to find the right ‘fit’ for your film within our festival.
