CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION

All genres are accepted for the main competition! All accepted films should run no longer than 30 minutes in length.

2. ARRANGEMENTS
The online registration must be sent to us together with the film file by, 30th April 2021. For movie viewing only DVD copies and movie files are accepted. The rights of the film, as well as the film music, have to be confirmed and are therefore the responsibility of the director.

3. SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION
Selected film submissions for competition will be notified no later than, 15th October 2021.

4. SCREENING COPY
We will only accept movie files in their proper screening format. It is our goal to present all films in the best quality possible, we therefore kindly ask you to provide a full HD file (h264 or ProRes422, at least 30 MB/s). Please do not submit 4K files, no surround sound, and no DCPs! Upload the movie file via (e.g. Dropbox or WeTransfer). Copy the link and send it to us (please do not send an invitation to dropbox, rather send a link!). Send the link to the following address: orga@klappe-auf.com. The option for alternate presentation formats is only accepted after consultation.

The screening file must not have subtitles as we produce subtitles for the deaf ourselves.

We need a longer preparation time for the production of the audio description and the subtitles for the deaf. For this reason, the screening file must be available to the festival by 15th November 2021.
