The Cutre Madrid International Film Festival - Cutrecon - opens a call for its 2023 edition to low-budget attached feature films, both animation and real image in fiction mode. Productions of any nationality may be presented, in any language.

The ways to present works for the consideration of the Festival Programming Committee are:

- Through the digital platform FESTHOME (festhome.com)

- Sending an email to contacto@cutrecon.com, with the subject "OFFICIAL SECTION 2023", with a link to VIMEO (or similar password-protected platforms).

The deadline for receipt of viewing copies is November 1, 2022.

2. Conditions for participation in the Official Section
The Programming Committee will only consider feature films that meet the following conditions:

- Duration: The feature films presented must exceed 60 minutes in duration, without restrictions on their maximum duration. The festival reserves the right to make exceptions.

- Formats: In order to reduce the carbon footprint as much as possible, the festival will request projection files that can be sent digitally (DCP, MOV, MP4, etc.)

3. Conditions for Participation:

Those titles that are selected will receive confirmation from the Cutre de Madrid International Film Festival - Cutrecon - in order to formalize their participation.

The company or individual that provides the feature film for its participation in the festival must provide publicity material: photos, posters, press kits, trailer, clips, etc. so that the organization can promote the film properly. The festival reserves the right not to return these promotional materials.

The producers and / or distributors of the selected films authorize, by accepting their participation, the use of one or more fragments of their title for dissemination as informative material in any means of communication or institutional presentation. For these purposes, the production companies and / or distributors will be able to make available to the Festival's Press Department a selection of sequences with a maximum duration of three minutes.

In addition, if necessary, subtitles in Spanish or the appropriate material to subtitle the film must be provided: download link and list of dialogues and / or subtitles. If the film is distributed in Spanish territory, the distribution company must provide the festival with a copy of the screening in OV with subtitles.

The inscription of a film in the Festival supposes the full acceptance and fulfillment of the present Bases of Participation and of its possible Annexes.
Once the selection of a film has been made and communicated by the Festival, and its participation confirmed by the producer / distributor that registered it, it cannot be withdrawn.

5. Selection for Competition:

The Selection Committee will announce before November 30, 2022 the works selected to be part of the competition of the eleventh edition of the festival. In exceptional cases, the festival may extend the date of these communications.

The selection of a feature film to participate in any of the sections does not imply the invitation (transfer, accommodation or subsistence) to the person representing the distributor, the director, or members of the artistic or technical team, etc., a decision that will remain subject to the interest of the festival.

The allocation of an award will not imply the invitation (transfer, accommodation or subsistence) to attend the festival.
The festival organization reserves the right of invitation for any of the participants.

6. Shipping.

The selected feature films must be available to the organization of the Cutre International Film Festival of Madrid before January 10, 2024.

The festival reserves the right not to accept copies that, after the necessary technical checks, are not suitable for projection. A new copy may be requested from the representatives and / or authors.

If for a reason beyond the organization the projection copy could not arrive in time for its exhibition, the organization may substitute the title for another.
The only cost of transporting material that the festival organization assumes are those derived from the return of the projection copies on physical support (hard disk or similar) to the distributor that has provided the feature film and / or short film.
If there is a third party interested in any of the selected and / or awarded feature films and / or short films (another festival, etc.), either the distributor, or that interested third party, will assume the expenses of transfer, in the terms that they stipulate and that are necessary.

Copies used for public display in established formats will not be returned immediately. The method and term of return will be agreed between the parties.
