Screening - The individual or corporation submitting the film warrants that he/she is authorized to commit the film to at least two screenings at any time during the Live Big River Film Festival (BRFF). Selected entries must send a festival screening copy on HD Cam (NOT HDCam SR), DCP, and BluRay (for backup purposes only, preferably). It is strongly recommended that you bring or send a backup method of exhibition (e.g. HDCam to back up DCP; BluRay to back up HDCam).
Liability
Every possible care will be taken with entries while in our possession, however, we cannot accept responsibility for loss, damage or additional charges incurred en route, or due to wear and tear, or equipment error. Do not send original prints or master copies. Additionally, BR is held harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses which may be incurred by reason of any claim involving copyright, trademark, credits, publicity or screening of any film.
Shipping
The cost of shipping an entry to the Festival must be paid by the entrant or preceding festival. All international entries must be sent with all transportation charges, duties, and taxes prepaid by the shipper. For films accepted into the Festival, the entrant is responsible for inbound shipping. If the filmmaker wishes to have items returned, pre-paid postage and shipping materials must be provided by the filmmaker.
Reproduction Agreement
Entrant agrees to grant BR permission for accepted films and related marketing materials to be reproduced and distributed – in whole or in part – SOLELY for purposes of jurying, education, and promotion of the festival. Please note that due to schedule conflicts, some jurors may need to view your films on disc. If you submitted a rough cut, it is VITAL that you send a copy of the final edition of your film on DVD. This final copy will also serve as an exhibition back-up, in case your selected method of exhibition does not work.
