The authors will have to ensure beforehand that the content of their work does not infringe the rights of intellectual property or other rights of third parties, and they will exonerate the Coordinating Committee of any legal responsibility.

The selected productions will make up the OFFICIAL SELECTION, and will be publicly screened during the days of the Festival, on the understanding that their authors or producers authorize the screening. Likewise, the organization reserves the right to be able to use the productions in a promotional way and/or later to be projected in videos and promotional events of the festival in a period of one year.

A Jury appointed by the Coordinating Committee and made up of a minimum of 3 people, will decide the prizes of the OFFICIAL SELECTION. The Jury will be made up of professionals of recognized prestige in the sector of audiovisual communication and culture.

- The festival will be held in a movie theater in the capital of Madrid as long as there are no restrictions due to Covid-19 or any other pandemic that may appear.
