All video projection is with a high
quality large-screen projector. The
35mm features and shorts accepted
for showing at the Festival may be
shown by video projection. Due to
limited time and space, we cannot
guarantee 35mm projection,
although in 1999 the Festival suc-
cessfully screened all accepted
35mm entries. The two venues used
for 35mm projection are either the
Prytania Theater, located in
Uptown, or the Canal Place
Cinema, located near the French
Quarter. Last year, we accepted 75
films and videos from approximate-
ly 420 submissions.
