 Submissions for Dark Carnival 2009 are now CLOSED. Dark Carnival accepts shorts, features, and trailers. We're looking for unique horror, dark fantasy, and sci-fi and every sub-genre in between. Dark Carnival has received films from nearly two dozen countries from all over the planet, and from almost every state in the US. In a relatively short time, we have gained a reputation as a festival that values indie filmmakers, and that loves the horror genre as something much more than some business niche or a way to sell merchandise. As a result we've gained the attention of local, regional, and national publications, as well as a variety of internationally recognized sponsors, including Rue Morgue Magazine, Avid, and Final Draft. Our festival submission fees are among the lowest anywhere, while at the same time, we work hard to make sure we give a better return on that investment than just about any other festival.
