Your film and other promotional materials will be kept safely, they will not be given to third parties and they will be used exclusively for the intended purposes, which are the selection and promotion of works for the Ngilngig Asian Fantastic Film Festival Davao.
After our main festival run and international programs run, we usually conduct outreach screenings (FREE OF CHARGE) to far-flung provinces; financially challenge areas: or those that may not have access to film screenings. In case, would you allow your films to be programmed in our outreach screenings? (We will not give financial compensation to the filmmakers and we will also not charge in our screenings venues. We have been doing these programs since our festival has started in 2013. It is part of our special education program and our way of giving back to our communities.)
