If you get your act together you could submit your short film to this festival.
http://www.3dmedia2010.com
Deadline 31st of october, submission is free and they do have a category called “alternative content”. Only problem is they expect the submission in the so called Digital Cinema Package format (DCP). To create such a 3D DCP you need specialised tools or the festival does it for you (cost involved).
There are free tools available though:

Interesting research.
KDDI R&D Laboratories has developed the world’s first technology for synthesizing and displaying 3D video of stadium sports in real time, from any angle chosen by the viewer. This technology was exhibited at CEATEC JAPAN 2010.

General 3D announced a web-based 3D stereoscopic system to stream 3D stereoscopic videos using only a browser. This new system uses the HTML5 and WebGL standards being built into Mozilla FireFox, Google Chrome and Apple Safari (you need to use the latest beat versions for WebGL).
Great technology, being able to play HD stereoscopic movies in your browser with on the fly image processing dome in the GPU.
