Conference Details:
- Film screenings will be organized in a 90-minute session.
- Each filmmaker will have up to 20 minutes to screen their film, leaving at least 10 minutes for discussion. (For films longer than 20 minutes, we recommend screening a scene or trailer during the panel to allow for 10 minutes of discussion.)
- Everyone screening a film must agree to be a respondent for another film in their session.
- All filmmakers are responsible for viewing the film to which they are responding prior to the conference itself.
- All respondents are expected to submit a written response for the film they are reviewing on their institutional letterhead.
- In the spirit of collegiality, filmmakers who do not provide written responses will be prohibited from submitting to the UFVA conference the following year.
- The only films that will be adjudicated for conference awards are those entered in the competition category.
- All creators seeking a respondent (feature or short) must be made available in its entirety via a secure, non-downloadable link no later than 2 weeks before the conference on the website.
ALL submissions for Screenings/Scripts must go through FilmFreeway.
