The GI Film Festival San Diego is now accepting submissions for the May 2023 festival.  The next juried festival, May 15-20, 2023, will be held in central San Diego, CA. The festival includes the Local Film Showcase, which features San Diego’s filmmakers, events, people, or places.  

Submissions of military-themed films are open to filmmakers of every level from first-timers to pros.  Submissions are also accepted from filmmakers who serve, or have served in the military, regardless of whether or not the film submission is military-themed. 

The Inaugural Veteran Filmmaker Program (VFF) is anticipated to run remotely from Sept - Dec 2022 and will provide a series of free lectures and discussions on filmmaking and screenwriting.  These weekly lectures will cover both the fundamentals of screenwriting and a survey of the collaborative elements of filmmaking.  The VFF Program will provide a supportive environment under which VFF participants can begin to formulate and outline a feature length screenplay of their own.  VFF participants will also gain a fundamental understanding of the various collaborative functions necessary to bring a script to screen.     

The VETERAN FILMMAKER FELLOWSHIP is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded by veterans to provide a therapeutic and creative outlet to affected veterans, to open pathways to film industry careers for veterans, and to educate, inspire, and empower America's veterans to tell their unique stories through the collaborative arts of screenwriting and film.
