On Monday night 27 May 2024 from 19:30 (7:30 pm) to 21:00 (9 pm) we will preview short, creative media products from the last few years that focus mainly on the not-yet-reached world. These could include short live or animated films, documentaries, narratives, and movie trailers.  We are MOSTLY looking for:

• Clips from the last two or three years that have not yet been featured at recent past EMDC events
• New previews or trailers for movies that are focused on unreached people groups
• Material that could be appropriately dubbed into neighboring languages
• Documentaries of people groups inspiring others to highlight minority people groups
• Films actually done by or with minority peoples
• Animation or live-action shorts that highlight a biblical story or principle that can then be dubbed into other languages.

Do you have a project that fits any of these criteria? You may submit your whole film to the review committee, but the maximum screen-time limit per entry is 6 minutes. Consequently, we may ask you to re-edit the piece to fit the time-frame or opt to show a trailer instead. A short trailer is best.  If you do not have a trailer, and are just showing a clip from the film as an example, please limit that to 3 minutes.

Films do not need to be evangelistic in nature and could focus on anthropology, prayer, biblical parables, social matters, etc. Films produced for a Western audience are primarily not what we are looking for, unless it is your goal to advertise your services  and you are producing products in minority languages for others).

Register your submission by providing information about your film clip for review on this Google Spreadsheet online https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1y6iasrQrEMZ2mGXVdDN5M2XqOHd8sACkuWcM1dCqkE8/edit?usp=sharing

and then upload your clip to this Dropbox Link https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/j52ph04cozss9y5bezdfq/h?dl=0&rlkey=b6pscik2xoexrbrqayd2jxvb7 Make sure the clip name matches the one you wrote about on the spreadsheet.

We will inform you in May before the event if your clip has been accepted for preview at the EMDC.  If your entry is accepted, you will then present the 3- or 6-min version that evening.

All entries must be submitted by 15 May 2024. 

See you then!
