2007 CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Regent Park Film Festival is the sole film festival in Canada's largest and
oldest publicly funded community; an area along with the neighbouring St.
Jamestown populated predominantly by new immigrants. The Festival is
dedicated to bringing the finest works relevant to the communities living in
Regent Park with an emphasis on films from our regions of origin (South
Asia, Africa, East Asia, First Nation, Middle East, Caribbean and Latin
America), and also from North America and the rest of the world. We invite
you to submit your films from all different genres and
encourage submissions from first-time and emerging directors.
