Film Festival Code of Practice's blog


We are officially launching the new web site for the code of conduct for film festivals and the new organization the Universal film and festival organisation (UFFO) on the 1st April 2011. The web site is temporary - www.uffo.camp7.org the new url will be www.uffo.org and will be connected to the web site on the 1st April. The site will be pretty simple

The code of practice is now a well written and worktable code for film festivals
We need festivals and filmmakers to sign up and we also need contributors to the blog and a industry professional from each country as a committee members. We need to translate the site into different languages

We need feedback, comments suggestions etc. visit the new site www.uffo.org

New organisation "Universal Film Festival
Organisation" www.uffo.org setup to
promote the new ethical code of conduct for film festivals and stamp out scam fests

We have created a new international organisation for film festivals
to adopt the film festival ethical code of conduct. The organisation will also be
a window for filmmakers to view a list of legitimate festivals who have adopted
the code of conduct. The ethical code of conduct was written with the participation
of filmmakers and festivals directors from all over the world to help stop scam
festivals.

If a film festival has adopted the new ethical code of
conduct through www.uffo.org (Universal Film Festival Organisation) and they
have the logo on the festival web site then you can be reasonably certain that
you are not getting ripped off and that the festival exists and is not a scam
and  will actually view you submitted
screener.

 

 

The UFFO web site is under construction www.uffo.org
