Who is eligible for submitting films to the festival? Super! is a festival which screens films directed by teenagers, ages 14 to 19, who have not yet enrolled in college.
Film Criteria. The festival accepts films of any genre or thematic, but must not be more than 40 minutes in length. However, if you do decide to submit a film longer than 40 minutes, do not fear, for a special screening could be organized just for your film! Also, keep in mind that if the films are not presented in English, they require English subtitles. We do not accept films which endorse any kind of hate or discrimination (based on race, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, ethnicity, nationality etc).
Deadlines. Submissions will be received until March 15th 2020. The selection of the films will take place before May 15th, which is when the selected films will be announced both on the Super! website and Facebook page.
What categories can films fall in? Films can be accepted into the competition or screened as a part of various projections, each with a different theme. These projections will be categories which won’t be judged for the competition.
Post-selection. Once your film has been selected to be screened, you cannot withdraw it from the festival. Once the selection has been made, the directors of the films selected must be prepared to provide additional information as well as the film in a format adequate for screening. This ensures that the screenings will be viewed in the highest quality possible.
Prizes. The films deemed the best will be awarded the Super! prize, an honorable mention from the jury, or the public’s choice award. The jury will be made up of adults who are active members of the Romanian film industry.
Super’s use of your sent materials. The festival will be able to use fragments of your film (1 minute tops) for promotional clips. A single film can be more than one time as part of our screenings.
Even though we do stress the importance of these guidelines, we don't want to miss any really good films because they didn't comply to our rules, so please contact us for any questions you might have or if you want to send ”non-conforming” films (a message to facebook.com/superadolescentii).
