Once received you will automatically proceed past our 1st or 2nd phase of acceptance or pre-selection process and you will receive an extra 5 points for poster submission & screener link. We need to share the film link with judges or panel selection in other geographical areas where our festival runs simultaneously, and because we had problems during playback at public screening in the past while running online (as frames dropped out and connections were severed), people just walking out of the screening sessions, making our presentation look very unprofessional while filmmakers missed out on crucial points. Hence we have decided to have (mp4 / mov / mpeg format file) and/or a screener on hand available to play any time anywhere, unrestricted and flawlessly. Thank you.
