Rules and terms
Deluxe Film Festival is an international film festival based in Rome, Italy.
Our mission and goal is to discover and promote talented directors from all over the world and present them to the public.
We have also created a special "DELUXE" category where only short films that have already won in other festivals can participate. In this way, we will be able to give space to short films that have never won a prize, participating in the other categories listed.
Each month our festival jury selects up to 10 winners from the main categories and reserves the right to choose or not choose winners from additional categories.
The festival has the following structure:
1. The selection of films: we see all the films presented.
2. The selected films will receive the "Official Selection" status of the month's edition.
3. We will select the semi-finalists who will have the opportunity to upload their work to a VOD platform.
4. We will announce the winners of each category
5. Sending digital prizes
6. Monthly winners will be considered for further selection. These will be invited to participate in the annual event in an exclusive location in Rome (In Via Capo D’Africa 9, Roma) where the selected short films will be screened and they will be able to receive an additional prize.
