Experimental or Fictional for Film Fest Submission

[ShockingMind]

Possibly a dumb question... Found a festival I'd like to submit my first short to... but slightly torn between the "Experimental Short" and "Short Fiction" category.

The Film in question is essentially a monologue (although technically it's a dialogue as he's talkin to someone off screen).

It's more of a "Video Poem" than a "narrative"

So...Experimental or Fictional???

What's peoples thoughts on the two category definitions...


Here's the film https://vimeo.com/47073776

It looks like a narrative to me but don't take my word for it - I'm a noob.

I enjoyed it I would say more "narrative." Would love to see more of your work

Very nice. Quite engaging. What aspect ratio is that?

I would call it experimental.

It's 3.00:1. Part of the FCP Widescreen FX

Think it's ok in this case but maybe a bit too stylised
