SEE-18 Film Submissions

“I frequently fly through MSP and often pass the Theater. Today on a 4-hour layover I sat and watched some music videos and short films. That and the Employee Art Show gave this culture maven a much needed dose during my busy work travel season. Thank you!”

– Anne Guerriero, East Lansing, MI




The Film Society is accepting submissions of short films to be screened at the all-new SEE-18 Program. This program will highlight the Minnesota filmmaking community, and as such films submitted must be made by Minnesota filmmakers, be about Minnesota, or take place in Minnesota to be eligible for consideration.

A select number of submissions will be programmed to screen at the new SEE-18 Film Screening Room at the Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport in the C-concourse. If selected, your film will be part of a series that runs every day for approximately one year to an international audience of hundreds.

Submission and application is free. You must read and understand, complete and sign the agreement and application requirements upon submission of work. There are no screening/rental fees for the works, as all films are volunteered. Films are allowed previous screenings in this and other markets.

Note – this is a year-round rolling submission process.
