Cinema Accreditation
Cinema accreditation is exclusively reserved to those who operate within the cinematographic sector under a cultural profile:
- University lecturers or researchers involved in teaching or researching subjects related to film
- Teachers of public schools teaching film studies, whose request has to be accompanied by up-to-date documentation of the subjects taught and by a letter from the head teacher
- Students attending courses in the theory and history of film at Italian or foreign universities, presented by their teacher
- Main representatives of major national cinematographic associations
- Heads of or close collaborators of cultural associations producing detailed evidence of their cinematographic activity
- Heads of publishing houses specifying their interest in the field of film
- Heads of Italian and foreign Cultural Institutes
- Heads of public and local cultural administration
Applications which do not fit into the above outlined typologies will not be taken into consideration.
All requests have to be accompanied by detailed and up-to-date documentation indicating the specific relation to film by the applicant.
Requests which have simultaneously been sent to other registration offices asking for other typologies of accreditation (Press and Industry) will not be taken into consideration.
Deadline: 8th July 2009
Requests arriving after the deadline will not be taken into consideration.
Badges are issued at the full discretion of the Fondazione La Biennale di Venezia, taking into account the regulations for registration and the limited number of available seats.
CINEMA ACCREDITATION and its advantages
Cinema registration can only be requested by those working within a cultural cinematographic field and fitting one of the categories listed in the official regulations.
Registration fee: 50 Euro
The accreditation gives access to the screenings of the Festival according to a strict procedure, giving possibility to view all the films of the official selection.
The screening schedule will be available on the website from mid-August and in the official programme which will be handed out with the accreditation badge.
The accreditation will be valid for the entire duration of the Festival.
Applications
After sending the online reservation form and following the procedures outlined in the link, the formal accreditation request has to be made by and no later than Wednesday, 8th July 2009. This needs to include:
- request on letterhead paper;
- number of accreditations requested, complete with names and specific positions of these people within the organisation, company or association;
- full home address of the applicant (first name, second name, address, telephone and e-mail), or whoever will be the contact throughout the accreditation process;
- up-to-date documentation of cinematographic activity;
- for University lecturers and researchers: request on the University letterhead paper, specifying the department and title of the film course being taught, or enclosing up-to-date documentation of research interests;
- in case of single students: request on letterhead paper from the University department, signed by the lecturer of the film course.
We remind you that the reservation is only a first step in registering data, but that it has no value in itself and will not be considered as a request, if not accompanied by a formal request thereafter.
In case accreditation is granted, the registration office will send out a communication with the relevant forms. These will have to be compiled and returned online by and no later than Friday, 24th July 2009.
Only those requests following the regulations for registration, with the necessary documentation enclosed and received by the official deadline will be taken into consideration.
Badges are issued at the full discretion of Fondazione La Biennale di Venezia.
