Live Script Reading Call for Submissions

Calgary Underground Film Festival

Registration opens: February 3, 2026

As part of CUFF 2026, we are hosting a Live Script Reading of a feature film from an Alberta scriptwriter. This is an annual event, which provides an opportunity to share your script in the early stages of development. The selected script will be part of the upcoming 23rd Calgary Underground Film Festival, taking place April 16 – 26, 2026.

In partnership with @actraalberta, we will work alongside someone from your team (the project’s screenwriter, producer or director) to cast the actors who will participate in the live script reading at the festival.

Visit calgaryundergroundfilm.org for more info and check back on February 3, 2026 when submissions open!

Our Commitment to Equity

Our commitment to Indigenous reconciliation, racial equity, disability justice, and gender and sexual diversity.

We acknowledge that the land we gather on, Mohkinsstsis, is the ancestral territory of the Siksikaitsitapi — the Blackfoot people — comprising the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani Nations, as well as Treaty 7 signatories, the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Îyârhe Nakoda Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney First Nations. Today this land is home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government Districts 5 and 6 as well as many First Nations and Inuit from across Turtle Island.

We acknowledge that there has been art, music, dance, storytelling and ceremony on this land since time immemorial and it is in the spirit of this land and its people that we do our work.

Please see our full Commitment to Equity, including the sections on our aspirations, accountability, current initiatives and EDIA history.
