Film entries for the festival are only open for the members of research stations. Antarctic Film Festival open to all of the research stations in Antarctica.[2] The festival began in 2006 with the participation of two stations, McMurdo and Scott base in Antarctica. Antarctic Film Festival is organized under two categories, 48-Hour Challenge and Open Challenge. The festival requires research stations to create a film over one weekend in August and the film has to be recorded in a 48 hour period and must contain five 'elements' nominated by other stations.[3] The candidate films must adhere short film standards.[4] The festival takes place over a weekend in early August.[5]
