Screening
A selected DCP must be received no later than 17 days prior to its scheduled screening date. We aspire to provide the best quality projection possible but will not be held liable for any failure in the technical quality of the projection, nor will fees be refunded in any such case. We assume that the submitting party or filmmaker(s) or entrant(s) or print source company has insured for damage and loss of the festival screening copy.

Screenings are scheduled during the festival at the discretion of LA Film Fest. While every effort will be made to adhere to the published schedule, We reserve the right to make changes at any time for any reason. LA Film Fest will not be liable for any costs claimed as a result of a change in schedule.

No film may be withdrawn from the festival program after its selection, and no film may be screened outside the festival venue during the festival.
