Dear Filmmakers,

First of all, thank you very much for submitting your film to 2022 ISFFC. We received more than 1000 submissions from all over the world and our work of selection has been really hard. As our festival only lasts 3 days, we had to narrow down the selected films to only a few, leaving out many films of great quality and therefore.

China began implementing a more relaxed version of its strict “zero COVID” policy on Thursday amid steps to restore normal life, but also trepidation over a possible broader outbreak once controls are eased. We are still trying to screen some of the films under the possible restoration orders and policies of Guangzhou. We only have a non-competition section this year, but we still keep the screening and the filmmaker's forum.

Nevertheless, as we plan to make more events throughout the year, it is very possible to contact you again in the near future with another screening opportunity.

Warmly,

ISFFC Team
