To be considered for our selection your film must have some connection to the "suburban." For our 2019 cooperation call with the Illmitz Conference your film should deal with Sustainability.
English or German subtitles are required for all films not in German of English language.
All entries must be available for screening during the festival.
We accept submissions over FilmFreeway with online screeners to streamline the viewing process for our selection jury and stay as green as possible during the selection process.
Filmmakers retain 100% all of the rights to their projects and materials that they submit to the SUBURNINALE Festival, but the film festival organizers reserve the right to use excerpts from the submitted films for promotional purpose.
The SUBURBINALE is not a competitive festival, yet every film selected receives our “official selection” laurel.
All filmmakers selected by the festival will be asked to provide promotional materials, but we ask that no promotional materials be sent until selection.
All selections will be showcased and promoted at the festivals homepage and via social media.
As screening formats in 2018 we prefer digital files in h264 format or BLuray copies. As we are adopting spaces as temporary cinemas, we can not offer high end cinema projections ( dcp or analog film projection. )
By submitting to the festival, you agree to allow your submitted work to be screened by the festival during the festival run, for which you are submitting, at no charge to the festival.
We want to show as many films as possible. For all films chosen for the “official selection”, which can not be screened due to time restraints, we have an additional option. We organize several local film series where all sorts of films are screened for a regional audience. That includes a sequence of summer cinema events and our courtyard cinema, that brings movies to special locations. By submitting your work you grant permission to show it either at the festival or at one of the other venues. If you don’t want to be part of those series, please let us know.
By submitting, the filmmaker allows to advertise for them without infringing copyright of any kind of form and list them on social media platforms as well as our website. (www.suburbinale.com)
All fees are non-refundable.
The submitted film shall not imitate or plagiarize any copyrighted work. We require films to have all necessary rights and releases secured for us to feature them.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless us, our officers, affiliates, employees, and partners from any and all claims and liability arising out of entering or transmitting your film to the SUBURBINALE Film Festival.
Dates and venues are subject to change if deemed appropriate by the festival.
