Submit A Film

I affirm that I am authorized to submit this film (the FILM) to the TRIFEST International Youth Film Festival (TRIFEST), and to grant permissions related to its use. Submitting the FILM to TRIFEST constitutes my agreement with TRIFEST International Youth Film Festival LLC, the organizer of TRIFEST, that I accept all of the rules, terms and conditions set forth in this Submission Agreement and otherwise described on the TRIFEST and FilmFreeway websites.  

If I am not yet 18 years old, then I affirm that I am submitting the FILM with the knowledge of my parent or legal guardian, and that my parent or legal guardian has agreed to accept the same rules, terms and conditions. I understand that if the FILM is accepted, my parent or legal guardian may be asked to confirm this agreement in writing.

I represent and warrant that the FILM is an original work. All of the people who participated in the creation of the FILM have agreed to the use of their work in the FILM. If the FILM contains any music, image, text or other intellectual property which was not created specifically for the FILM, all required licenses and permissions needed to use that music, image, text or other intellectual property have been obtained and can be provided to TRIFEST on request.

If the FILM is accepted by TRIFEST, I grant TRIFEST International Youth Film Festival LLC, the non-exclusive right to show the FILM, or clips or stills from the film, as TRIFEST sees fit, in any language or medium, including but not limited to packaging and inclusion in sponsorship deals and other business-related activities related to TRIFEST.

I grant TRIFEST, and any third parties who may be working with TRIFEST, the right to record, photograph, film or videotape my appearance and voice and to use any biographical information submitted by me (not including personal information) for marketing and promotion of TRIFEST and to publish, release, exhibit or reproduce my likeness, voice, name and statements for any purpose reasonably related to TRIFEST and its activities, such as (among other things) use on websites, in social media, news and advertising.  

I acknowledge and agree that the short synopsis I have submitted when filling out the online application may be used in the TRIFEST festival guide, on the TRIFEST website, and for other promotional purposes. If needed, I agree that TRIFEST may edit the synopsis for length and grammar.  

I understand and agree that the FILM is being submitted to TRIFEST voluntarily and that I will not receive any compensation for selection or exhibition of the film at TRIFEST or for any other use of the film in connection with TRIFEST. I acknowledge that no submission fee refunds are given once this application has been submitted. I also understand that the submission of the film does not impose nor create any obligation or responsibility on the part of TRIFEST to accept the film for inclusion in TRIFEST, to exhibit the film in TRIFEST, or to return the materials of my submission to me.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to the FILM’s submission to TRIFEST will be resolved through arbitration in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
