We're a new film festival based in London - that's England, not Ontario - out to showcase the best in contemporary North American indie filmmaking.
We're extremely keen to make sure that Canada is properly represented at the festival, and that we showcase the best of your country's emerging filmmakers. At the moment, however, submissions from the USA are outweighing those from Canada by about 10:1!
So where are you all? Check us out at www.declarationfilmfest.org, and please submit your films, register for details of the fest, and most of all, tell your friends.
