Albuquerque Film & Music Experience

TERMS & CONDITIONS
By submitting to the Albuquerque Film & Music Experience, filmmakers understand the terms and conditions and have read the below guidelines.

The following will apply IF my movie is selected:

1. My movie will be screened during the Albuquerque Film & Music Experience and will be eligible to win a filmmaker award.

2. My exhibition copy of the movie will be sent to AFMX either as a non-password protected Vimeo file, or a compressed, downloadable, electronic file (mp4 preferred). ALL films must be received no later than Friday, August 20, 2021.

IF YOUR SCREENING/EXHIBITION COPY IS NOT RECEIVED BY FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 2021, IT MAY NOT BE SCREENED AS PART OF OUR PROGRAM.

3. Any use of the film outside of our screening team MUST be approved by the filmmaker. This may include a private screening for the press to write a story on the film.

4. A sample clip of my movie or trailer may be promoted via the Albuquerque Film & Music Experience website, ticketing site utilized by AFMX, YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, or any other social media site with respect to promoting AFMX and the screening of my movie.

5. I permit AFMX to use my name and stills from my movie found on FilmFreeway (at least one print-quality and one web version provided upon request) for all promotional purposes.

The following will apply for all movie submissions:

1. AFMX retains the right to archive the submitted file or copy of my movie in physical and/or digital format solely for historical and research purposes, and will not publicly screen it without my permission. All submissions should be downloaded to FilmFreeway for easy access to the entire AFMX screening committee.

2. AFMX will conduct private screening sessions with its screening team to review submissions, which may include my movie.

3. AFMX will not return any thumb drives, hard drives or discs received unless filmmaker requests and pays for shipping. Filmmakers are responsible to supply a prepaid, self addressed envelope or packaging to AFMX that should be sent with original shipment of exhibition copy.

4. AFMX does not provide refunds on submission fees.
