Yes. We accept films that have played at other festivals or online — as long as you retain screening rights for this event.

＋How many guests can I invite?
Every accepted creator gets a guest allocation. You can also purchase additional tickets at a creator-guest rate.
＋What happens after I submit?
Our curation team reviews every submission. You'll be notified with a status update within three weeks of the submission deadline.
