INDEXSubmitting a black & white silent short film to UK festivals.

Dear Shooters.
I have recently directed and produced a black & white comedy silent short film (7 minutes length) in which I am impersonating, as an actress, Charlie Chaplin's persona.
Can you suggest me any UK short film festivals to submit my short?

Hi Alexandra, this sounds great - well done on the short! I would recommend aiming towards Glasgow Short Film Festival, Leeds International Film Festival and London Short Film Festival (although this is on next month so you'll have to wait for 2020...) as the top short film festivals in UK. Best of luck with the submissions!

Thanks for your answer guys!!
Do you know if there are any film festivals (UK and abroad) for silent shorts?

I run Short Film Reviews, online reviews of short films, with live festival in London next June. Happy to accept b&w and silent films.
The bonus is that ALL entries get an online review plus optional screener link, whether selected or not.
www.shortfilmreviews.video/festival for details. Or find it on Film Freeway.
Contact me and as a SP-er, I'll give you a discount code.
(There was a b&w festival in England a couple of years ago, and I'd be surprised if there isn't a silent film fest somewhere in the world. Fortunately, Chaplin is an international icon. You can search FilmFreeway by keywords.)
