The Off Hampton Film Festival is now accepting submissions for its 2026 edition through FilmFreeway. Open to filmmakers locally and internationally, the festival celebrates original, independent cinema on the East End.
All selected films will be screened at the Southampton Cultural Center in Southampton Village. Each screening will include a filmmaker Q&A and post-screening conversation hosted by festival organizer Adam Baranello. To submit, filmmakers must use the FilmFreeway platform. All films must include English subtitles, and multiple projects may be submitted as long as each entry is submitted separately.
The regular submission deadline is November 30, 2025. A late deadline is set for December 30. Filmmakers will be notified of selection between January 24 and January 31, 2026. The official festival date will be announced soon. For more information or to submit a film, visit filmfreeway.com/OffHamptonFilmFestival.
