The Park Interspecial Film Festival (PIFF) has announced the addition of a new category to festival judging: PIFF Pockets.
At a press conference held this morning, PIFF Communications President, Leola Ocelot, confirmed the long-awaited addition.
“The Park’s filmmakers have a proud history in the area of pocket films,” she said. “We are delighted to be adding that category to our roster this year and we look forward to awarding our first prize in the category of PIFF Pockets.”
Pocket films are generally defined as films that do not exceed three minutes in length. To qualify for the PIFF Pocket category, films must have been made specifically for the Festival and must have their first screening at the Festival. Both pocket documentary and pocket fiction films are eligible for submission, Ocelot said.
Submissions to the Festival will be accepted from 9:00 a.m. on Friday, July 20, 2012 until midnight on Friday, September 21, 2012.
The 8th annual Park Interspecial Film Festival will take place October 1-5, 2012.
