Before you begin

A small note on fees

Thank you for thinking of FilmFool for your film. Every submission is watched in full by our curators, and a modest fee helps us give each film that time.

The fee is non-refundable, and since every film is chosen by our curators, a place in the lineup can’t be guaranteed. If your film isn’t selected, you can redeem the fee as screening passes, a waiver on your next film, or towards a private screening.

AI policy

We care about who made the film

Tools that help you make it are welcome. AI that makes it for you has to be declared first.

Assistive AI · we’re all in

No declaration needed

Noise cleanup, upscaling, stabilisation, rotoscoping, subtitles, transcription, colour and edit tools.

Generative AI · declare it

Tell us before you submit

If AI created any part of your film’s images, footage, animation, voices, music or sound effects.

  1. Declare what AI made, and where.
  2. We review your film free of charge.
  3. If it fits our programme, we select it.

Declaring first saves you the submission fee. Undeclared generative AI found after submission may be removed from the lineup.
