3. Films must be accompanied by a completed, signed submission form. (screensj@gmail.com)
4. We try to avoid using our opinions when screening submissions so we generally avoid rejecting films at all costs, but we may reject a film if the quality of resolution or audio is such that it might damage our equipment or our audience. We may also reject a film due to content if we feel it is excessively vulgar, deliberately in bad taste, or generally does not fit the atmosphere we are trying to create at SCREEN!
5. By all means, be offensive, be rude, be racist or sexist, but don’t make the audience riot and don’t make them vomit. We need our deposit back.
6. Also, SCREEN! is not a political platform. Don’t do it. Unless a SCREEN! event is dedicated to film in politics…then do it.
