We will be accepting fiction and animated short and feature films of any subject.

We do not accept documentaries, music videos or video art.

Each director is allowed to participate with a maximum of two works, realized starting from 01/01/2023. 

Short films must have a maximum running time of 20 mins, including credits; feature films of 120 mins.

Works already enrolled in other festivals are also accepted.

Films of any origin or language are allowed.

ATTENTION:

For all non-Italian films, also in English, Italian and/or English subtitles will be required, plus the dialogue list in Italian and/or English.

The organization reserves the right to admit to the contest films notwithstanding the current regulations.

By enrolling to the contest, every author and distributor agrees to these rules and declares himself/herself responsible for the content of his/her work.

In case of failure to comply with these conditions the candidate will be excluded from the event.

All entries that comply with the current regulation will be screened by the organizing commission, which, at its sole discretion, will select participants of the contest to be presented to the award-assigning jury.

Submitted material will not be returned, and will be archived.

It is possible that some material may be re-used in other events, as clips, for non-commercial use. 

The films will be screened in other festivals twinned with the Fabriano Film Fest.

The selection of the admitted short films and the corresponding screening days will be communicated in good time on the following site: www.fabrianofilmfest.it and on the Facebook page of the festival, so as to allow the authors to be present at the screening and/or, eventually, at the awards ceremony.

The Jury, made up of journalists and Cinema professionals, will assign the awards and any special mentions to short films.

The Young Jury will also decide the best short film of the festival.

There will also be a prize awarded by the public audience present at the screenings, one for best short and one for best feature film.

Personal data (L. 675/96) will be processed for the purposes of the festival only.

Registration for enrolment implies full acceptance of the current regulations.

For any information not provided, the Italian Civil Code rules apply.
