Concepts
Author – The author of a work means the director or producer. Only the author of the work (director/producer) may register a film under his/her name for the Competition.
Obligations of authors and requirements for films
One author may enter a maximum of 3 films in his/her name in one year.
The topic of the films is not limited in any way.
No film containing excessive vulgar, indecent or derogatory footage that would substantially restrict access to the screening areas will be screened at the Festival.
The organisers are not liable for copyright infringement in the case of submissions by authors who, for whatever reason, did not have the right to submit, film or publicly distribute the work, including copyright in the music.
The festival’s production team reserves the right not to accept a film into the competition that does not comply with the established conditions based on the assessment, or, on the contrary, to grant an exception and accept the film.
Rights and obligations of FOFR
The authors of the work grant the FOFR organisers the right to publicly produce the submitted work within the festival. They also grant the right to use parts of the work (video and audio track) to create and publicly screen the audiovisual work to promote the festival (video trailer and cut of the nominated films). The organisers have the right to use the photographs, posters, screenshots and other materials submitted with the application to promote the festival on all online and printed materials.
By submitting a film to FOFR, the filmmaker agrees to the festival's terms and conditions.
The organisers undertake not to use any of the entries for commercial purposes – e.g. to sell the work unless the organisers agree otherwise in written form with the filmmaker. This obligation does not apply to the public screening within the festival and any echoes of the festival.
All personal data provided during the registration of the author is considered strictly confidential and is treated by Act No. 101/2000 Coll. We do not provide this data to third parties in any case. The registered persons consent to the collection, storage and processing of the personal data contained in the registration form to send commercial communications by electronic means under Act No. 480/2004 Coll., on certain information society services, until the data subject directly and effectively informs the controller that he or she no longer wishes to receive commercial information from the controller by e-mail to kontakt@fofrfestival.cz.
