See : www.clermont-filmfest.com for a brief outlook of the association’s
various activities.
See : www.shortfilmdepot.com to access the platform’s presentation homepage.
A brief look at the website’s homepage will clearly show that no one can
access a video publicly on this site. And that festivals do not just need
to pay to access the service, but need to contact our team for requesting
possible membership (after consulting the International Short Film
Conference Code of Ethics).
*Obligations of Shortfilmdepot.com member festivals*:
Any member festival on Shortfilmdepot should commit to respect the
following Code of Ethics, recommended by the International Short Film
Conference : http://shortfilmconference.com/code-of-ethics/ , including :
– A festival is considered a cultural event which considers cinema and
video as an art form and a film or a video as a work of art.
– A festival is respectful of the filmmakers’ work and will do its best to
screen the work in its original version, format and technical requirements.
– The festival should respect the copyright of the selected as well as the
submitted films.
1. Right holders should be informed about which program(s) the film is
in and when, where and how many times these programs are screening.
2. Other screenings, especially those not within the duration of the
festival, need to be arranged and agreed upon beforehand.
The The Shortfilmdepot agreement also outlines festival obligations,
including:
– respecting copyright and right owners who send their film
