How to Enter
Once you have made your film, make sure if you are using people in your film that you get their permission to have the film shown publicly - if you need a consent form you can down load a sample one here. If you need to use music you can either produce your own, or get permission from the musician, if the music is broadcast on the radio or another medium you will need to contact the Performing Rights Society at www.mcps-prs-alliance.co.uk.
PLEASE NOTE - If you do not obtain permission for the music included in your film, IOWIFF will not be able to screen your submission.
Once you have made your film, you will need to transfer it to your computer using Film Editoring Software, save the master copy of your film and keep it safe, we recommend that you also make a second copy as a backup just in case your computer goes wrong.
Once you have downloaded the film you can edit it, add a Title sequence, add captions, subtitles if required and a list of people who have helped make your film. Then burn the final piece to two (2) DVD's either in PAL or NSCT format.
Once you have made the copies of your film, put it into a padded envelope with a copy of the submission form, your payment if you haven't used our online PayPal payment system. Then use the Fest21.com submission system to submit your film.
PLEASE NOTE - that each film submitted must have a new form and submission fee paid, as we do not accept multiple films on one entry form or fee.
When you post your copy to us please add the following, your Bio if wished and some stills from the film including a picture of yourself and ensure that your submission form has been included. Put a stamp on the envelope and drop it into the post. Addressed to:-
