When submitting screeners please be aware that the festival will reject films containing hate-speech, explicit sex, full-frontal nudity and/or gratuitous violence.
Films are selected on the merit of their story (or main idea/theme), their entertainment value, and their production value.

Festival Organizers reserve final say on event selections.
