IMFF accepts documentary films on a broad range of maritime subjects. These include, but are not limited to, voyaging, racing, working, leisure, boatbuilding and restoration, historical documentary, and environment and science.

For Filmmakers:
Films may have been made on any date, regardless of previous premiere, but the person submitting the film must be the copyright holder. Judging is not category-specific; rather, all films will be evaluated in relation to each other, in one of two tracks:

• Feature Length (40 minutes or more)

• or Short (under 40 minutes)

 

All films must be in English OR carry English subtitles.
