USAPECS Polar Film Festival Submissions 2027

In conjunction with APECS International Polar Week, the US Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (USAPECS) is hosting the eleventh annual international Polar Film Festival, March 15-19, 2027! For five days, the Polar Film Festival will showcase short videos on topics related to the Polar regions to the public and broader Polar research community. Films will be shared digitally on our website each day during APECS International Polar Week and we will host an online panel discussion with filmmakers about their works.

Submissions of independently created films, typically 1-30 minutes in length, created by the submitter individually or as part of a group are welcomed. In the past, we’ve featured a range of works, such as academic documentaries, independently-produced videos, interviews, sneak peaks of upcoming full-length films, and news reports. We welcome a diversity of submission types and topics related to the Polar regions. Previous year’s film festivals can be viewed at: https://www.usapecs.org/polar-film-festival-2026.

Deadline for film submissions: 12 February, 2027

Film review will begin in February, so be sure to get your submissions in before the deadline!
