In conjunction with APECS International Polar Week, the US Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (USAPECS) is hosting the ninth annual international Polar Film Festival in March 2025! Please note that USAPECS is permanently moving the Polar Film Festival to March starting in 2025. For five days, the Polar Film Festival will showcase short videos on topics related to the polar regions to the public and broader Polar research community. Films will be shared on our website each day during APECS International March Polar Week and we will host an online panel discussion with filmmakers about their works.
Submissions of independently created films, typically 1-30 minutes in length, created by the submitter individually or as part of a group are welcomed. In the past, we’ve featured a range of works, such as academic documentaries, independently-produced videos, interviews, sneak peaks of upcoming full-length films, and news reports. We welcome a diversity of submission types and topics related to the Polar regions. September’s film festival can be viewed at: https://www.usapecs.org/polar-film-festival-2024.
Deadline for film submissions is: 7 February, 2025
If you would like to submit or suggest any short films or videos (typically 1-30 minutes long) for viewing, please submit them using this google form.
We are also looking for people to host in-person screenings this fall, so if you’re interested in doing so, please indicate this on the film submission form. We look forward to another exciting Polar Film Fest!
