Anyone who has created a film on the Pontian-Greek heritage and culture, is in the process of making one or wants to make one, is encouraged to submit their creation to the I.P.F.F.

The submissions link opens September 2, 2020, through to November 27, 2020. Any films that are submitted need to be 10 to 45 minutes in length and must be focused on Pontian culture and heritage. There are no age restrictions.
