France USA Int Film Fest Submissions

Please read these Rules & Terms carefully before you submit your film.

By submitting your film into the competition in the
FRANCE USA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ( France USA Int. ), you expressly acknowledge and agree that you shall be bound by the terms of these Rules & Terms.

France USA Int is open to any film completed after February 1, 2019, regardless of content, subject, or origin.
Submitting your film to the France USA Int. is not a guarantee of selection.
All the winning films will receive an award or certificate.
We treat every filmmaker equally.

Select annual winners will be pitched to Industry, and or distribution, Amazon Prime, Netflix and other platforms.

1. Films made in languages other than English must have English subtitles when screened in USA. Films made in languages other than French must have French subtitles when screened in France. We will inform you if we need DCP format to screen your film.

2. France USA Int. reserves the right to refuse entries.

3. France USA Int. will not refund any fees if the filmmaker fails to submit the film in the correct category. Films submitted without the correct fees or proper submission media may be deemed ineligible at the discretion of the France USA Int. programming director or executive director. The festival does not cover any of the expenses incurred by the filmmaker.

4. After a film has been an official selection, the filmmaker will be notified, and eventually the film will be listed on the festival website under Official Selections. The Official Selection status doesn’t mean that your film will be screened at the festival. It means that your film has been appreciated by the judges of the panel and you can use the festival logo with or without the laurels on your poster.

5. A nominee will be privately screened for the France USA Int. judging panel, and will not be screened initially to the public.

6. A filmmaker’s submission fee will not be reimbursed if they decide to withdraw their submission. All entry fees are non-refundable.
