PLEASE READ THE RULES BEFORE SUBMISSIONING A FILM.
All works must have been completed after 1 January 2023. They may could be presented at other festivals and screened in public and possibly not streamed for free on the Internet. Even more, the festival's Artistic Director reserves the right to choose also some works prior to 2023, in case of particularly high quality. The selected films will be screened and voted on by the public via streaming on Indiecinema's SVOD (Subscription Video On Demand) platform for the entire duration of the festival, and the awards for best film, best documentary, best short film, and the audience award will be presented during the final awards ceremony. By accepting these rules and submitting their film. The directors/ producers/ distributors/ rights holders automatically authorize the use (online and offline) of trailers, clips, backstage footage, film clips, posters, subtitles, dialogue, images, and any other content from the film submitted to the festival for advertising and marketing purposes for Indiecinema Film Festival. Directors, producers and film rights holders agree, by registering for Indiecinema Film Festival, to make their films available for streaming and all screenings and events of the festival without any fee, in case of selection in competition. By signing up through FilmFreeway you agree NOT to require a screening fee as a requirement for participation in the festival. The directors and productions of the selected films undertake to insert the festival logo in the opening credits of the film.
All films in English must be subtitled in Italian. All non-English films must be subtitled in Italian and English with separate SRT files. Admission does not guarantee acceptance to the festival. We also accept presentations that have been previewed elsewhere and may already have distribution agreements. Non-definitive films are not allowed.
The screenings are scheduled live and online throughout the year starting from the conclusion of the selections and the sending of notifications to the directors with a calendar at the discretion of the festival organization. No film can be withdrawn from the festival program after its selection and a fee cannot be requested for screenings and events of a film.
Although every precaution will be taken to prevent the loss or damage of materials during the festival, Indiecinema Film Festival is not responsible for any damage during the festival.
At the end of each festival we offer the possibility of making an optional agreement with earnings in revenue share for feature films and documentaries selected in competition that want to enter the catalog of the Indiecinema streaming platform for a duration of 3 years, with the possibility of reaching an audience international.
