RULES AND REGULATIONS TO THE 17TH ENTRETODOS – HUMAN RIGHTS SHORT FILM FESTIVAL
ENTRETODOS – Human Rights Short Film Festival opens enrollment for its 17th edition, to be held in September 2024.
Our proposal is to promote a culture of Human Rights using the audiovisual language, seeking to give visibility to nationally and internationally produced short films that are capable of sensitizing and provoking debates around social, racial and identity issues in a playful, poetic and participatory manner.
Entretodos is a free festival in its exhibitions and activities and its mission is to disseminate Human Rights and Citizenship in public education networks, communities, prison units, as well as other educational and cultural spaces.
Enrollments, carried out in accordance with these Rules and Regulations, go from March 1st to April 30th, 2024, at 11:59 pm, with the possibility of an extension of that deadline if Entretodos sees fit. Entries are free of charge if made directly through the ENTRETODOS Festival website https://entretodos.com.br.
Entries made through the FESTHOME (https://festhome.com) and FILMFREEWAY (https://filmfreeway.com) platforms may require payment of registration fees, subject to their conditions.

The selected films for this edition of Entretodos will be made available for the entire duration of the festival on the website www.entretodos.com.br and/or in the Entretodos Streaming Platform (https://acervo.entretodos.com.br/), or even in another specialized streaming platform that will host the festival.
Other types of showcases or awards may be added to the aforementioned and communicated to the selected films’ representatives for their knowledge and agreement.
Due to the atypical situations the value of the cash prizes, the dates of the festival, as well as the required counterparts and types of screenings may undergo unilateral changes resulting from government actions and/or from partner institutions – supporters and sponsors – in which case, will be properly announced to the participants.
The value of the prizes will be deducted from taxes, according to the Brazilian legislation in force and will be paid upon presentation of an invoice from a company linked to the filmmakers or another legally equivalent document held by the filmmakers.

If foreign participants do not reside in the country or are not present at the time of the award ceremony, they must appoint a representative residing in Brazil, upon presentation of a letter of attorney that, if written in a foreign language, must be accompanied by a translation to Portuguese, so that said representative may receive the payment of a cash prize in case of an eventual award.
