Entry Fees

However, a separate entry form, preview copy and entry fee are required for each title. If the Festival determines a work is entered in the wrong category and needs to reassign it, any discrepancy in entry fees between the categories must be paid by the entrant.

Payment is accepted only in U.S. dollars, by check (payable to San Francisco Film Society), money order, Visa or MasterCard. We cannot accept American Express. Checks must have a printed address and telephone number. A photocopy of your driver license must be enclosed with payment. International entries must pay by Visa, MasterCard or money order in U.S. dollars. International entrants who do not wish to pay by credit card must contact the Film Society for instructions on sending a bank wire transfer. (There is an additional $20 fee for wire transfers.) Do not send cash.
