Film Submissions

NXNE 08 Film Festival submissions are now closed

We’re interested in movies with a beat. NXNE accepts music-related feature films, documentaries, shorts, and even animation. So put away that Stanislavski (before you go blind), make your final cuts, and get your NXNE application underway NOW.

Here’s the link: www.withoutabox.com

Follow the prompts at Withoutabox to submit your NXNE application electronically.

Filmmakers whose works are selected to appear at NXNE 08 will have their artist information and web site links featured at nxne.com (the site received over 4.5 million hits in 2007). They will also be given a full delegate pass to the festival, plus two wristbands. Every filmmaker applying to NXNE can purchase a discounted full delegate pass.

Just like other internationally recognized filmfests, NXNE scoops world premieres and brings cool movie types to town—without any fawning speeches or fashion gossip. At NXNE movies, music is always the star.


“Toronto’s NXNE Festival is the most teeming, throbbing and wriggling snakepit of excitement in this half of the continent, maybe even the whole landmass!”
– Guy Maddin, director, Brand upon the Brain


“North by Northeast is an exciting combination of indie music and a film lover’s gourmet feast. We had a great time and we would love to come back.”

- Stewart Copeland, Police drummer and director, Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out
