The 2011 Aluta Film Festival is now open for entries from South African and international filmmakers. The festival will be hosted from 23 - 26 February 2011 in Kimberley, South Africa.

Submissions must be from filmmakers who have produced films that embrace "black" experiences worldwide and/or experiences of marginalised communities from across the globe. Submissions must be from filmmakers from all over the world with special emphasis on world cinema (films that explore history, social issues and highlight marginalised communities within the developing world).

Entries are accepted for features, documentaries and short films in the genres/sub-genres of drama, action, thriller, comedy, animation and factual.
