8.1 Entry form
Invited films will receive an Entry form, which must be filled out and returned by 13 July 2022. The Festival’s reception of the completed and signed form implies the legal acceptance of the invitation on the part of all those to whom it is sent; acceptance is considered final and binding.
The film’s invitation to participate in the workshop must remain completely confidential until the Festival program has been officially announced; failure to comply will result in the film’s exclusion from participation.
8.2 Copies and materials
The representatives of the invited films must send by 15 July 2022 all informative material required for the catalogue and the Venice Production Bridge-VPB (synopsis, statement of intent, crew and cast list, director’s biography and complete filmography, photographs of the director and cast and scenes from the film in b/w or in color). It must be labeled “Material for VPB” and sent to: finalcut@labiennale.org.
The screening copies in DCP in the original version with English subtitles, must be sent by and no later than 16 August 2022. A working copy that is further along with respect to the version submitted to the selecting commission can be sent:
- 2 copies in DCP, in the original version with English subtitles;
- 1 link or DVD in original version with English subtitles, for the exclusive use of the Festival’s internal services.
Only in special cases, which must be authorized in writing by the Director, the deadline of 16 August 2022 can be extended; however, should the copies of the film not arrive by 26 August 2022, the screenings will be cancelled.
