Napoli Film Fest

You may submit your movie for consideration in multiple categories. To do this, simply check the box of each category you wish to submit to (you will see the fee due next to each individual category). We do not accept any films completed earlier than 2019.
All submissions will be judged for the categories they are submitted for. However, our jury may decide that your film should be considered for alternative categories which it was not submitted for originally. This assures extra consideration and can substantially increase your film's chances to qualify for an award.
You must own the rights to your film, including the music and have permission of release from everyone appearing in your film.
Non-English language films will be accepted but must have English subtitles. 

Special Requirements:

1. Originality Reigns: Submissions to the festival must be original works, showcasing the distinct voice and creative vision of the filmmaker. Plagiarism or unauthorized use of copyrighted material will not be tolerated.

2. Embrace Diversity: We celebrate stories from all walks of life and encourage filmmakers to explore diverse perspectives, cultures, and experiences. Inclusivity and representation are essential values, and we welcome films that promote understanding and empathy.

3. Independent Spirit: The festival is dedicated to independent filmmaking, and submissions must not be backed by major studios or production houses. We prioritize supporting emerging talent and empowering filmmakers who embody the true essence of independence in their craft.

4. Respectful Content: Films submitted should adhere to guidelines of respectful and responsible storytelling. We encourage artistic freedom, but any content promoting hate, discrimination, or harm to individuals or communities will be disqualified from consideration. Let's create a space where creativity thrives while fostering a safe and inclusive environment for all.
