01 - One Shot Terrassa City of Film is an International Film Festival accepting films - shorts or feature - from any part of the world from filmmakers of any nationality.
02 - Two categories will be established:
"Junior" (up to 17 years)
"Senior" (from 18 years)
03 - The final deadline to submit your work for each of the categories is 10th of OCTOBER of 2020.
04 - The film festival will not incur any fees, it is free to participate.
05 – The festival accepts films produced from 2012 (last year the event was held) to the last date of reception. There are no premiere status requirements for the films, whether they have been made available physically or online. But they can not be publicly available online while the festival takes place.
06 - The festival will take place during the week of October 21th to 27th 2020.
07 - The topic or theme of the films is free.
08 - The minimum duration of the films must be THREE MINUTES (start and/or end titles counted besides the length of the sequence shot).
09 - All movies must be in horizontal screen format.
10 - The sequence shot cannot include any frame of just a single colour (white, black...) nor any repeated frame, nor any FX applied on the motion picture that can disguise a manipulation. The plot content must therefore be filmed in a single shot with no cutting from start to the end.
11 - Credit titles may be added at the beginning and/or end, without images or sounds unrelated with the plot content of the sequence shot, and preferably on a neutral background.
12 - The overprinting of graphic elements on the image is permitted, as long as its size allows to identify at all time the continuity of the sequence shot.
13 – It’s allowed to edit the soundtrack, adding voiceovers, dialogues, sound effects or music to complement or replace the original sound.
14 - Subtitles can also be added, preferably in English, in case there are dialogues or voices off. If the film language is not Catalan or Spanish, subtitles are mandatory, either in Catalan, Spanish or English. The organization is entitled to request the subtitles, in the event that are not presented, and considered necessary for the screening.
15 - If selected, the filmmaker will be asked to host different digital files related to the film in the specified formats and sites, together with a technical and an artistic sheet, the synopsis, some promotional pictures (including one of the director and his/her resume) and the signed authorization (which will be sent), allowing to disseminate totally or partly the one shot films for promoting the festival in any way that the organization may decide.
Note:
The Organizing Committee is entitled to do not admit those sequence shots whose content may infringe on fundamental rights or freedoms, and to settle any incident that may arise that does not comply with the rules of participation.
