Films must be registered until April 9, 2023, via an online form through the link above. Every film must have an accurate name. The application must also include an accompanying text with a brief annotation of the film, a film still and English subtitles (in the case of a foreign-language image, Czech subtitles). A video annotation is also recommended and will be screened before your film at the festival.
Organisers of the festival reserve the right to exclude contributions that do not meet the above conditions or contributions whose content conflicts with Czech legislation without submitting them to the Program Committee for assessment. Every author/author’s collective can register for the festival, maximally three separate films. The festival director and teachers of PV113 Production of Audiovisual Artefacts will select films for projection and dramaturgy of the festival evening. This intern jury differs from the professional jury, which will determine the winners. There is no legal right to be included in the festival program.
Authors will be informed about acceptance or rejection through contacts listed in film registration. Films selected by the Program Committee will be projected on screens in Brno during the 23rd Film Festival of the Faculty of Informatics MU.
The contestant has no legal right to win the competition, and non-monetary prizes cannot be redeemed or converted into money. The prizes will be issued based on a mutual agreement between the author and the organisers of the 23rd Film Festival of the Faculty of Informatics MU.
Material awards will be handed over in person during the festival evening. If the author (or author's representative) of the winning movie will not attend the handover ceremony personally, there is a possibility to pick up awards at the Faculty of informatics MU in Brno, one month after the festival's end (19. 6. 2023) otherwise the awards are lapsed (arrange pickup with organisators at festival-org@fi.muni.cz)

By submitting a film, the applicant grants the organiser a free license to screen the work as part of the 23rd Film Festival of the Faculty of Informatics MU.
