FILMQUEST TERMS & CONDITIONS
(Print and submit with mailed-in entries)
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ENTRY SUBMISSION
All film submissions must be postmarked by August 26th, 2023. All submissions must be complete, with all of the items on the checklist order completed to be considered for the submission. All submissions received after August 26th, 2023 will be considered for next year’s festival unless otherwise notified. Notification of acceptance into the 2023 film festival will occur no later than September 9th, 2023. If accepted, a screening print (Blu-ray and/or DVD) or digital copy must arrive at FilmQuest’s office not later than October 1st, 2023. Entry selection is made from DVD, Blu-Ray, .Mov, etc. All screeners must be clearly labeled. These screeners will become the property of FilmQuest unless a self-address, self-stamped package is provided with original submission. All entries selected into FilmQuest grant FilmQuest the right to use any footgage from the screener, all submitted publicity photos and any other materials sent to us pertaining to this entry for FilmQuest’s promotional purposes, without limitations. Complete press kit for films will be requested only after acceptance. All prints must be picked up after the screening and signed for by the filmmaker.
ELIGIBILITY
We will only accept films completed after January 2021 for the 2023 FilmQuest for awards eligibility, unless otherwise noted. We will accept films that have previously screened in other festivals. Entry fees are non-refundable, and may be paid in the form of Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, Discover, check or money order paid in US dollars, only through a US affiliated bank.
Locally made and produced Utah films are strongly requested, and in most cases required, to give FilmQuest its local Utah premiere. If the film premiered before FilmQuest, it will have needed to have held its most recent local screening at least 6 months prior to FilmQuest’s announced dates. Failure to meet these requirements will likely prevent the entry from selection into the festival.
SCRIPTS : Scripts must be bound and formatted correctly or in PDF format. Feature film script length should be at least 40 pages and not over 180. Shorts scripts at least 3 pages. Scripts will not be returned. Please include synopsis bound with script after title page. Final deadline for scripts is August 26th, 2023. All scripts must be accompanied with a synopsis. We also accept digital script submissions either via FilmFreeway or email.
