The screenings of the films in competition will always be free both during the festival and in subsequent events that will be organized to promote festivals and authors for which requests for rental costs or other types of charges to be borne by the festival will not be taken into consideration.

Registration to the festival and sending of the material constitutes acceptance of the regulation in all its points

For the experience gained in the different editions, we recommend, in the interest of the participants, that films in Italian have English subtitles and English-language films have Italian subtitles.

For films in other languages, the subtitles will be in Italian and English, thus giving the international jury the opportunity to choose the language they prefer and give a fair evaluation to the work by interpreting the dialogues correctly.

Rights of use

Participants assign to the Festival, without any compensation, the right to reproduce photos or excerpts of up to three minutes of their film for publications on social media, on its website, in the press, on television and through its network of partners. Participants guarantee to the Festival Management that they own all necessary rights of use (authorship, images and intellectual property) and grant authorized persons the right to use, in whole or in part, these films.

Some films will be able to be screened again free of charge in theaters and other venues under the supervision of the Festival. These additional screenings will take place after the official competition for further development and visibility of both the works and the Festival.

Participation in the Festival implies the unconditional acceptance of these regulations.
