Unhinged Cinema: London Comedy & Cult Film Fest

📢 Important Update to Submission Rules 🎥💀

Unhinged Cinema: London Comedy & Cult Film Fest

Dear Filmmakers,

We cannot guarantee your film will be viewed if submitted via Vimeo. 🚫📹

We have found Vimeo to be unreliable, unstable, and prone to vanishing at the exact moment we press play. We do not chase broken links. We do not troubleshoot your passwords. We do not guess your settings.

🌟 Preferred Method: Upload directly via FilmFreeway.
If we can’t watch it, we can’t select it. If we can’t select it, it cannot become a Fresh Classic.

Thank you for your cooperation. We mean this. 🙏🎬

GENERAL RULES
1. Unhinged Cinema: London Comedy & Cult Film Fest claims no ownership over your film. It remains yours, for better or worse. Submit it wherever you like. Just make sure it works when we press play.
2. All entries must be submitted via FilmFreeway with a functioning, accessible screener. If your link requires a password, make sure it works. If it doesn’t, neither will your chances.
3. Upon selection, you grant Unhinged Cinema: London Comedy & Cult Film Fest the right to use excerpts, stills, and clips for promotion. If your film is truly unforgettable, we reserve the right to prove it publicly.
4. By submitting, you confirm you own all rights. Music, footage, ideas, and anything else that could result in legal trouble. We do not enjoy legal trouble.
5. Previously screened films are eligible. In fact, they may already have a head start.
6. You may submit multiple films. We admire your confidence.
7. All submission forms must be completed properly. Missing information will not be chased. We have many films to not understand.
8. Unhinged Cinema: London Comedy & Cult Film Fest reserves the right to disqualify any submission without refund. This includes broken links, missing files, or general chaos beyond our tolerance threshold.
9. You are solely responsible for clearing copyright. If your film contains unauthorised material, it will be removed faster than a boom mic in a good production.
10. Non-English films must include English subtitles unless comprehension is already beyond saving.
11. All genres are welcome. Narrative, documentary, animation, experimental, music video. Especially the ones that shouldn’t exist.
12. There is no minimum runtime. Whether your film is 30 seconds or 30 minutes of confusion, we will consider it.

TERMS
1. Only the first submitted version of your film will be considered. Choose wisely. Regret later.
2. If your film does not play, we will attempt to contact you once. After that, fate takes over.
3. Late submissions may be viewed, or may not. We make no promises and offer no refunds.
4. All eligible films will be viewed by our programming team and judged equally, though not necessarily kindly.
5. Failure to pay submission fees may result in disqualification. We will attempt to contact you, but we are not persistent.
6. The festival may change format, venue, or reality due to unforeseen circumstances. Refunds will not be issued. The show will go on, one way or another.
7. We do not provide feedback. Mystery is part of the experience.
