With this new theme, we would like to invite you to address the issues of climate change, environment, pollution,… More broadly, we would like to address the question of our link as humans with the nature that surrounds us and of which we are a simple element. This obviously concerns the plant and animal world. Be inventive, creative, as you do so well every year. Offer us films with original angles and don’t be afraid to tackle all the issues. Feel free to express yourself!

All audio-visual forms are accepted: fiction, documentary and all genres, too: romance, horror, science-fiction, western, drama, period, thriller, Z movie, comedy, action, war film, etc., as well as stop-motion, time lapse, etc.

Films using motion-capture techniques and/or special effects added during editing are more than welcome, as long as the images themselves were filmed using a mobile/tablet device. Unfortunately, films comprising only graphic animations without any live action are not permitted.

Yes.

Not explicitly, but in the urban landscape there are many brands and it is not forbidden to use them in the image.

Yes and no. If you want to use any music in your film, you must hold the appropriate rights or have been authorised to use it by the author or its rights holders. You may be required to prove this, if requested by our team. There is, however, lots of royalty-free music available for you to use. For example, you can take a look at the YouTube audio library.

Yes, you can enter as many films as you like, free of charge. However, only one film per director can be shortlisted for the competition. When registering more than one film, please use the same username, email address and password for each one.

We understand that the theme of the competition this year and the way in which it may be addressed in certain films could put directors in danger. Therefore, we’re giving you the option to create a pseudonym, which will be used if you’re officially selected. However, we do ask that you include your real identity on the registration form (first name, surname, address, email address and phone number); this information will remain entirely confidential and can only be seen by the Mobile Film Festival team.

Subtitling in the film’s original language is compulsory for any films that include dialogue, title cards, voiceover or any inscriptions necessary for understanding the story. Please note: do not embed any subtitles in your film! You should add them via our partner, Dotsub.com, when registering. We will create a free Dotsub account for you when you register your film. You will receive your login details automatically by email, allowing you to subtitle your film for free in just a few minutes using Dotsub. Do not upload your film to Dotsub yourself, otherwise your registration will not be validated by our team.

Yes. Once you have completed the entry form, you will receive an email confirming your registration or explaining how to add your subtitles on Dotsub, if your film needs to be subtitled.

Yes, because we have to process a large volume of films manually in a few days and therefore we cannot always confirm to each of you that we have received the subtitles. However, please note that if we encounter a problem, we will contact you.

The official selection will be announced on our website on November 2, 2021.

50 films will be selected.

The films of the official selection will be visible on our website, Facebook page, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube accounts from November 2, 2021.

Yes.

As every year, the jury will award several prizes to some of you. Some of these prizes include production grants and writing grants for a short film. The money will be given to an established producer who will be responsible for the financial and final outcome of the film. The winners will be able to choose the producer they wish to work with, in agreement with the Mobile Film Festival organisers. If they do not know a producer, we will put them in touch with producers in their country.

The Audience Award will be granted by SensCritique to the film that will obtain the best score on the website www.senscritique.com at the end of the online Film Festival, on November 30, 2021.

The official selection and awards do not imply the approval of the partners.
