We accept all horror genres!

Online submission will be accepted through film festival platforms (FilmFreeway or Withoutabox). Your film must be of the horror genre. We do not mind if you film has already been published online. However, your production has to have been produced within three years of the date of submission. Language of productions are in English or contain English subtitles.

We prefer online submissions (Youtube, Vimeo, etc.). But we will accept hardcopies in some cases. These must be a digital copy on DVD (minimum 1920×1080). Please contact us for mail submissions (hello@darkdesignz.com).

All submissions are final. No refunds are provided.

We reserve full rights to use your name, film and film clips, posters or any other information for publicity and display on our website, Facebook page and all other promotion material (online and printed).

By submitting your film you agree that you own the rights to it and are responsible for the content. By submitting you are granting BHIFF the right to use the name, synopsis and artwork of your film on our website and Facebook page, as well as any promotional material we may create (pamphlets, posters, etc). 

No refunds will be given whether your film is or isn't selected for the festival or screenings. Any hard copy of your film and promotional material will not be returned.

* Please note: no REAL people or animal cruelty will be accepted. Any such material will be immediately dismissed and reported to proper authorities. *
