CineSalon Experimental Film Festival is thrilled to announce that short film submissions for its second annual festival are now being accepted.

To submit, please use the CineSalon FilmFreeway page. The deadline for entries is Friday October 24th.

CineSalon is a festival celebrating personal, poetic and formally experimental filmmaking that takes place in venues across Cork City, Ireland December 5th – 21st 2025 and online.

CineSalon accepts films with a running time of 15 minutes or less and only considers films that are experimental in form. While it interprets ‘experimental’ in a broad sense, it does not accept conventional narrative or documentary work.

The festival will screen an in-person programme of shorts selected from this open call on Sunday December 7th. It will also present a series of short film programmes that will stream online between December 5th and December 21st.
