Guidelines for Selected Films
Out of all the accepted entries, IRISH FILM FESTA will select – at its sole and absolute discretion – a shortlist of films for the competition. IRISH FILM FESTA will notify all the authors of selected films; not-selected applicants won’t be notified. Within a week after admission, authors of selected films must provide:
- a high-definition copy of the film (required formats: .mp4 or .mkv);
- a timecoded dialogue list (preferred format: .srt) – if the dialogue list will not be provided, the short film shall be deemed ineligible for the competition;
- a brief synopsis and a full-credits list;
- one or more high-resolution stills and promotional clips from the film to be used for the festival website and social media.
IRISH FILM FESTA, created and directed by Susanna Pellis, is produced by the Cultural Association Archimedia, in collaboration with the Irish Film Institute; with the support of Culture Ireland, Screen Ireland, Turismo Irlandese; and under the patronage of the Embassy of Ireland, Italy.
