The Thomas Edison Film Festival (TEFF) is accepting work for its 44th Annual Festival Tour in 2025. The festival seeks spirited shorts that explore, enrich and expand the expressive possibilities of film.

TEFF is an international, open genre, touring festival celebrating short animation, experimental, documentary, narrative, screen dance, and hybrid films.

Shorts are the essence of the festival not a sidebar to feature films. We do not accept films over 45:00 in length and give short films foremost consideration.

By submitting, filmmakers accept terms and conditions listed on the Thomas Edison Film Festival page on FilmFreeway.

Call for Entries opens on May 1st 2024 and closes on September 6, 2024, for the 2025 Thomas Edison Film Festival Tour.
