Clips
-
When preparing your clips, please ensure it is only 8-10 seconds long, we would also be delighted if you could provide us with a different clip, should your film be nominated for more than one award, in other words, for each nomination, please provide a separate clip.
Please do not overlay any text or graphics over your clip, the only exception being if it is a clip that has subtitles in English (for a non-English language film for example).
-
We will be screening with the aspect ratio of 16:9 – 1080p and MP4/MOV would be much appreciated.
Keep the file size to a maximum of 200MB, although we understand this may not always be possible.
-
It is really important that you name your clip as the film title and category, this helps speed things up when it comes to placement and filing.
-
Please begin sending us your clips, the earlier, the better for you.
We would like to have them all in a month before the festival begins.

You can send the clips via popular cloud storage services such as Vimeo, Google Drive, WeTransfer and so on, or simply go to the links below for more options:

Technical
If your project is nominated for a specific technical category, it would be good to receive clips that showcase this particular element.
Performance
For nominations for supporting or lead actors/actresses receiving clips of the specific person is advised.
If you have multiple nominations yet only supply ONE clip this is what will be used each time. We highly recommend taking the time to showcase your film as best as possible with the clips you provide.
Should we not receive clips from you 10 days prior to the festival start date then we will only be able to showcase your project as text on screen for our awards night ceremony.
