The Seventh Salford Film Festival is scheduled for 10th - 14th November 2010. We are now open for Submissions!

Submissions should be sent on DVD to Steve Balshaw, Programme Manager, Salford Film Festival, International Media Centre, Adelphi House, Salford Crescent, Salford, M3 6EN. 

Further information and submission form available from info@salfordfilmfestival.org.uk, or from the DOWNLOADS page of the festival website. There is no submission fee. Deadline for submissions is the end of August.
