The Taiwan Ethnographic Film Festival deadline will be in June of 2007. I don't think there is info up yet. Not sure when the festival itself will be ... September?

You should also check out National Geographic's All Roads Film Festival:

Launched in 2004, All Roads supports diverse cultural perspectives with an international film festival, funding, networking, and distribution opportunities to bring together voices that celebrate the vibrant cultural stories of our world.
