RULES AND SUBMISSIONS

The entrant/submitter/moviemaker hereby certifies that he possesses the right(s) and all of the proper clearances to submit the movie, including, but not limited to image rights, talent releases, soundtrack and/or source music releases; and assumes all responsibility for their material. NEWBORN SHORT FILM FESTIVAL accepts no responsibility, financial or otherwise, for any movie submitted to the festival.

Every entry/submission will be judged based on its directing, acting, technical, and artistic merits, as related to the submission. All decisions made by the judge(s) are considered final and incontestable. We reserve the right not to give all of the possible awards if we don’t receive enough entries in a particular category or if none of the submissions meet our high judging standards.

Entry fees are nonrefundable.

Multiple entries are allowed. You can submit more than one film to the same category.

All submissions in any language must be subtitled in English.

The english subtitles must be embed in the film file. No additional .srt files will be accepted.

NewBorn Short Film Festival reserves the right to disqualify any film whose submitter might be in any way linked to illicit or criminal acts, proven or otherwise.

The Festival reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, merge, or cancel any award category if the number, quality, or suitability of submitted films does not meet the minimum threshold required to ensure a competitive and meaningful evaluation process.

The selected, nominated and awarded movies promotional material will be announced and viewable in our site and in our social media pages.

The selected films rightful owners of the rights, in each category of every edition, hereby authorise the film’s live screening in NewBorn Short Film Agency's events. This authorisation is an indispensable condition for the inclusion in the festival’s official selection.
