ELIGIBILITY:
The submitted project must be your original work.
If your film/video project is based on or includes, in whole or in part, any fictional or non-fictional material, published or unpublished, produced or not yet produced, that is not owned by you, then you must provide documentation proving that you have licensed the rights to use the material.
When you submit your entry you will be giving us full permission to download a digital copy of your project to screen during the Festival.
You must own exclusive rights to your project. The rights may not have been previously optioned or sold.
REVIEW PROCESS::
We review all submissions in a two-stage process:
1. Is it good enough to be considered as an "Official Selection" in this year's Festival?
2. If not, is it still good enough to be included in our film distribution catalogue? If so, then you may be offered a non-exclusive, royalty-based licensing agreement for possible future screenings of your project.
RECENCY:
As long as your project meets all the "Submission Rules & Guidelines" then we don't care when you made it. So why not dust off your old projects and give them new life. It's up to you!!
