The HKIFF is responsible for the insurance of prints or screening copies from the moment they are received by the HKIFF to the moment they are collected by the Forwarding Agent.

Films presented by the HKIFF must arrive at Hong Kong for print checks and press previews at least one month before screening.

Once arrived at the HKIFF office, the screening copies will not be returned or forwarded until the respective HKIFF screenings of the film are over.

Films will be returned within two weeks after the closing of the 38^th HKIFF to the airport of destination. The consignee will be notified of the shipping details.

Prints and airway bills should be sent directly to the HKIFF Society Office.

If the Office of Film, Newspaper and Article Administration (OFNAA) recommends HKIFF to make cuts in a film or in its subtitles, such changes will be made only with the agreement of the producer/filmmaker.

The HKIFF will apply for proper license for public screening of films during the Festival. Such license is valid only for the screening(s) as scheduled in the 38^th HKIFF.

First-features (and second- or third-features, according to the final programme selection) by directors of Asian countries are eligible for the FIPRESCI Prize.

Entry of films for the 38^th HKIFF implies acceptance of these Regulations. The HKIFF reserves the right to regulate cases not circumscribed by these Regulations. In situations where all the aforementioned regulations are not applicable, the final decision shall rest with the HKIFF.

The entrant warrants that he/she owns the entire copyright of the film and/or has the right to authorize the public screening of the film.

The entrant hereby authorizes the HKIFF to screen the film in public during the period of the 38^th HKIFF. The HKIFF is obliged not to hold any public screening of any film entries other than the three screenings allowed by international regulations.

The entrant authorizes the HKIFF to make use of all publicity materials and stills of the film including, without limitation, for publicity, promotion purposes of the 38^th HKIFF and the HKIFF Society.

All the personal data and other information requested in the Entry Form herein are used to enable the HKIFF to consider this application only and will be subject to the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, Cap. 486.

The entrant agrees with the HKIFF and undertakes that he/she will at all times keep the HKIFF fully and effectively indemnified in respect of all actions, proceedings, claims, demands, liabilities and expenses whatsoever may be made, brought against, suffered or incurred by the HKIFF in consequence of any breach by the entrant on the ground that any film presented by the entrant pursuant to the 38^th HKIFF General Entry Regulations is an infringement of any intellectual property rights of any person or is defamatory or on any other grounds whatsoever.
