Film Submissions

Thank you for your interest in submitting your film to ReelAbilities Film Festival Los Angeles.

We are proud to showcase films that are made by disabled creators, and that include authentic representations from actors, writers, directors, and crew with lived experiences with disabilities.

Our criteria for submissions:

• We accept narrative or documentary shorts or feature films. We do not accept PSAs (public service announcements), promotional, or instructional videos.
• Festival films must be captioned. You may submit your film files with open captions or with attached captioning tracks. If you do not have an existing captioning file, please note this upon submission.
• All other access features must be identified (ie. audio description tracks, foreign language subtitles, etc).
• Provide access to your film via a multi-use video link (downloadable and/or password-protected), on platforms such as Vimeo, Youtube, etc.

If you have questions or feedback about the submission process, please email us at: reelabilitiesla@lacity.org.

Please note:

The criteria mentioned above is specific solely for the ReelAbilities Film Festival Los Angeles. For your film to be considered for the ReelAbilities International program, all films must be submitted to ReelAbilities Film Festival: New York via the main Film Freeway submission platform.
