Rules & Terms
Because of the number of entries received, not all entries are chosen to screen during
the Festival. A prescreening committee, comprised of filmmakers, video-makers, and
other artists associated with the Iphias International Film Festival, will watch and
evaluate each entry to determine which works are selected for screening during the
Festival.
