Film Submissions

For film contributions of any length, including (but not limited to): silent, animation, documentary, personal cooking show, and experimental. Due to data constraints, films will be embedded in Adoptee and Literary Art Archive but hosted on YouTube.

A few resources for film editing can be found on the site.
