Early Word on Entries

Well, I can't tell you which ones are in just yet, but I can tell you that NaFF has broken a record for the number of entries received for the 2009 40th Anniversary Festival.

We received 1,923 entries from 86 nations. We'll be continuing to go through all of the entries for the final six weeks. In the near future, you'll begin to hear about some confirmed titles.












Just to give you an idea of how well the call for entries went, here's a map of the world. Nations from which we received entries are shaded in gray.

I'd like to have more of Africa covered, but not all nations there have an active film industry and the only major industry on the continent that did not submit a film was Nigeria.

Check back soon and you'll begin to see some confirmations of what's to come in April.
