As many as you like, but each video must be submitted individually, with its own submission form.
My video has explicit content, can I submit it anyway?
Yes, we will accept videos that include nudity, profanity, or suggested violence, but be aware that any material that may be construed as excessively offensive may negatively impact your video’s chance for inclusion in the festival. It’s your call.
Can my music video include dialogue or non-music sound?
Yes, but it should be clear that it’s a music video. The song should be featured prominently. We are not interested in musical short films, with extensive dialogue or traditional instrumental scores.
