Call for Submissions

The ‘International Drugs and Harm Reduction Film Fest’ has become an integral part of the annual IHRA conferences. Following the success of the fifth event in Barcelona in 2008, we are pleased to provide an even bigger stage in Bangkok, Thailand for film-makers to present their latest films, training videos, documentaries or fictional works.

The Sixth International Drugs and Harm Reduction Film Festival in Bangkok will run from April 19th to the 23rd 2009 as a parallel stream in the conference programme for ‘Harm Reduction 2009: IHRA’s 20th International Conference’. For more information about Harm Reduction 2009, please visit www.ihraconferences.net.

Film Submissions
If you are interested in submitting a film, please complete the submission form on the following page and email it to filmfest@burnet.edu.au. Alternatively, please contact the film festival organisers at filmfest@burnet.edu.au for more information.

All submissions will be subject to review by a panel and are not guaranteed to be screened. All films must be:
• In English (or have English subtitles)

We are also interested to know if you will able to attend the conference to present your film, so please mark the appropriate box when filling out the submission form. Delegates will be required to register for the conference.

All films must be submitted with a hard copy and an electronic copy of the submission form by January 15th 2009.

In early 2009, the film festival team will determine which films are suitable for either Lounge Sessions (where films are screened and unaccompanied by a presenter) or Symposium Screenings, which offer the opportunity for someone who has been involved (directly or indirectly) in the making of a film (up to 30 minutes long) to introduce and discuss their work.

Presenters must also register for the conference – please visit www.ihraconferences.net for more information.
