Additionally, the Festival press office requires photos, biography and filmography of the leading actor/actress and a list of the film’s delegates attending the festival, as well as press kits, stills, posters, and video-extracts of the films.

The Festival reserves the right to use all materials for promotional purposes and for the Festival Catalogue. During the Festival, selected films will be available in the digital video library, open exclusively to accredited film professionals, journalists and festival organizations through MIFFUS' own closed-circuit server. By accepting to participate in MIFFUS, submitters grant permission for their film to be included in the video library, unless otherwise mentioned in the entry form. To this end, all participants will be requested to make available a QuickTime h.264 version of their film for encoding purposes.

The decision regarding the selection of films and the section in which they will be presented belongs exclusively to MIFFUS. The Festival is not obliged to offer comments or reasons for not selecting a film submitted for one of the Festival’s programs. No legal claim to participate in the Festival can be filed.

For all films participating in the exhibition and films entering the competition, the organizer has the exclusive right to display, broadcast or use non-commercial activities on the public media during the festival free of charge.

Our festival takes place at the Rio Washingtonian, Gaithersburg, MD  and provides the perfect setting for our festival.
