*READ CAREFULLY - IT'S SHORT I PROMISE*
1) The festival is structured in the following categories:
Shortfilms (less than 30 minutes)
Animated short films (less than 30 minutes)
Feature films (more than 70 minutes. 50 minutes for documentary)
Screenplays (max 20 pages) - ONLY FOR ITALIAN AUTHORS (rules and regulation on the festival website)
2) Each author is responsible for the contents of its own work.
3) If the dialogues of the film are not in Italian, the film must be completed by Italian or English subtitles. If you don't have Italian subtitles, it's necessary in case of selection to send us the English subtitles in SRT format and the dialogue list.
If, once selected, you can't provide a SRT with the subtitles in English or Italian, the movie might be dismissed from the selection.
4) Movies received without the requested documentation or sent after the deadline could be excluded from the selection.
5) You will find the screenings program of the selected works on the official website www.tohorrorfilmfest.it before the beginning of the Festival itself. Judges will examine each work and award one for each category.
6) In case of selection, all the requested material must be sent to the festival 3 weeks before the beginning of the event.
Short films: H264 or .mov screening file of less than 2GB and the SRT file with English subtitles.
Feature Film: we prefer DCP but you can send also a .mov or H264 screening file and the SRT file of the English subtitles (even in case of English dialogues).
If you send a DCP, a lighter file of the movie is also necessary for the translation (a H264 ideally).
The copy must be free of any subtitles (or with Italian subtitles burned in). In case you don't have the Italian subtitles, you must send the English subtitles (even in case of English dialogues) in SRT format. We will create the Italian subtitles that we can send you after the festival if you want to.
7) Once selected, a film can't be withdrawn from the competition.
8) The jury or the audience will assign the following awards:
Best Short Film.
Best Feature Film.
Best Screenplay (only for Italians authors).
Audience Award for the best short.
Audience Award for the best feature.
“Anna Mondelli” award for the best first film.
