Submissions have opened for the 19th Prishtina International Film Festival, scheduled for 7–12 September 2027 in Prishtina.

Four deadlines, one industry destination

Submissions opened on 15 October 2026. Early bird closes on 30 November, the regular deadline is 15 March 2027, and the late deadline is 15 June. Notification is scheduled for 31 August.

These are more than administrative dates. Early preparation leaves time for subtitles, rights paperwork and festival strategy. Producers should verify categories, fees, premiere rules and technical specifications on the official entry platform.

Why Prishtina matters

PriFest’s location and Balkan industry network may serve films seeking regional co-production, distribution or festival connections. Submission does not guarantee selection or a deal; only the August notification confirms the programme.

Business perspective

The call creates demand for subtitling, localisation, legal, sales and travel services. The most practical opportunity is assembling a complete package: English subtitles, trailer, stills, chain of title and a concise industry pitch.

Summary

PriFest’s 19th edition runs 7–12 September 2027 in Prishtina. Submissions opened 15 October 2026; early bird is 30 November, regular deadline 15 March and late deadline 15 June.
