HBFF 2025 STUDENT FILM AND SCRIPT SUBMISSIONS
We work with schools and teachers as they help students pursue their filmmaking vision. In addition to our Filmmaking Workshops we can offer advice on filmmaking and production equipment and editing and audio software.
1. You can choose your own theme across any genre.
2. Submission Guidelines for student films up to 18 years of age:
Films with excessive violence, nudity or excessive coarse language will not be accepted. Films must adhere a G or PG rating. If you are unsure, then kindly consult with your teacher.
3. Short Film Length:
Your short film can have a duration of 40 minutes or less.
However we recommend five minutes as it will be more likely we can screen your film.
4. Submission Fees:
Student submission fees: $15.
If you are low on funds ask your teacher if they can source funding from your school or a commercial sponsor.
5. How Do I Enter And When Is The Deadline?
Create your film and submit via Film Freeway from 1 March 2025.
Submissions end 8 August 2025.
