Submissions are now open for the 2009 edition of the famed DC Shorts Film Festival! Visit the updated web site at http://dcshorts.comDC Shorts turns the spotlight on truly independent short films, created by new and established filmmakers in an era when the art of filmmaking is opening to all. We select films from every genre for our competition screenings — with a special focus on films created by metropolitan Washington, DC-based directors and writers. After each screening, filmmakers have the opportunity to speak to the audience as part of a moderated panel. In 2008, DC Shorts reviewed more than 750 entries from around the globe. We selected 103 short films for screenings at 8 showcases during the competition weekend of September 11-14, 2008, with each show featuring an average of ten short films. Since a major focus of the event is the inclusion of filmmakers, many of the films were represented by the more than 108 filmmakers in attendance from 8 countries. More than 2,600 people attended the screenings. DC Shorts gives ALL ENTIRES feedback -- a point which impressed MovieMaker Magazine to name us as "one of 20 festivals worth an entry fee," AND as "one of the leading film festivals" in the country. THE EARLYBIRD DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 15, 2009. Submission fees go up after that date -- so enter now and save! I look forward to seeing your new works! - Jon Gann Festival Director PS: If you have a film of Asian or European interest, check out the new EuroAsia Shorts Film Festival at http://euroasiashorts.com ; Low fees, unique themes, and screenings at embassies and cultural centers throughout Washington DC.

The Picture Show Pundits is a relatively new film review website. We are looking for writers to help fill out our staff, which will allow us to offer readers a wide variety of reviews. There are no restrictions as to what you can write reviews for. If you can review the newest theatre movie this weekend or six months later on DVD, it does not matter. If you're interested in reviewing only certain genre films, we're okay with that as well. Our benefits are still a bit limited, but we do offer advanced screening passes (location based), film festival access, and site bonuses (t-shirts, dvds, stickers, etc). If you're interested in learning more about us, please make sure you check out our site and our About Us page. Then submit an application or hang out in our forum! Thank you and Good Luck!
