4.1 Submission of applications & Selection process
The registration period for films is open from September 1st to December 24th, 2021.
Registration must be made on one of the following platform:
Festhome
The online submission of applications implies the creation of a personal account on the chosen platform, the creation of a page dedicated to the trailer duly filled in, and therefore requires the uploading of the trailer or the mention of a viewing url link.
To this end, the video must have been uploaded prior to registration on a sharing platform such as Vimeo or Youtube and must be accessible as a private or public link.
If the Participant does not already have a Vimeo or a YouTube account, they may register free of charge by completing the form available on the Video Site.
These platforms require a certain amount of information for their own and sole use.
Only one deposit is necessary.
In the event of a problem encountered on one or other of these platforms, participants must take the necessary steps to resolve the problem themselves and the Organizer cannot be held responsible. No application will be accepted other than by submission on one or other of the above-mentioned platforms.
At the time of the application, the Participant may provide a private or public link to the trailer. However, in the event of selection, the Participant must submit a public link and a digital file of the video.
Participants must consider the technical standards imposed by the festival during the production of their video(s), in case of selection. Namely:
- Minimum resolution of the trailer: 1920 x 1080 in HD,
- Ideal resolution of the trailer: 4K
For the uploading of their video on the sharing sites Vimeo or Youtube, the Participants will have to prioritize encoding in H.264. Nevertheless, it is recommended that the candidate keeps the MASTER file (native) in the initial format (at least a ProRes 4:2:2) in the event of its selection.
Any false, erroneous and/or incomplete declaration will be considered invalid and void and will result in the disqualification of the applicant. All entries received after the Festival deadlines will be revoked.
At the end of this registration period, a pre-selection will be made by the programming committee.

Trailers will appear in their corresponding categories as well as in the national and international categories. Each voter will be required to log in and fill out a form before voting. The uniqueness of the vote will be verified through the deposit of several dedicated cookies on the voter's terminal equipment. These votes will be used to determine a winner for the Audience Award.
The trailers will also be deliberated by a jury of film professionals who will award the Grand Prize.
