New paid registration and film submissions are temporarily closed. If you already purchased a ticket or submitted a film, keep your original order confirmation and contact support@filmfaster48.com for a review of your specific transaction. Purchases made through Eventbrite or FilmFreeway may have separate platform-specific terms. This update does not retroactively change an agreement accepted at the time of purchase or waive any rights provided by law. Read the current festival-status announcement.
The next festival’s submission and licensing terms will be separately published before submissions reopen, following legal review.
