100+ Plus International Film Festival
OVERVIEW
The 100 Plus International Film Festival (100+ Plus) is conceived by WM Communications, Asia-Pacific (WMC-AP), a subsidiary of APRC, as an opportunity for youth to express their hopes and dreams for the future through the medium of film/video.
In addition we see the festival as way of encouraging young film/video producers to gain experience and exposure to the film festival arena through an alternative online competition.
When you submit your film/video to 100+ Plus, you grant us a non-exclusive license to distribute your work through the 100 Plus Film Festival website, through other online portals such as WMC-AP.ORG, APNYI.ORG, YouTube, and additionally on mobile devices including mobile phones, iPods and PlayStation Portables, and on a compilation DVD generated out of this competition. This also includes presenting your work for promotional activities that may include editing elements of your content into promotional footage or screening it at workshops, launches or seminars. We don't own your film, you just grant us a non-exclusive license to use it.
In the event that a third party television network expresses interest in broadcasting the festival program, we will contact you to inform you of their interest. If television isn't your thing, then no problem, your film doesn't have to go there if you don't want it.
The 100 Plus International Film Festival is conceived and coordinated by WMC-AP, and is completely non-profit. WMC-AP may receive some donations to help cover the costs of promotions, production, postage, prizes, etc. Therefore no contestants will be entitled to any of this sponsorship support (except of course the prizes for those fortunate enough to win).
Music, Video Footage, Photographs and Graphics
In regards to music, sounds, video footage, photographs, graphics and any other item that might be considered intellectual or artistic property we highly recommend that you use your own, original music, sounds, footage, photos, and graphics. If, however, you choose to use copyrighted materials, you are fully responsible for the clearance of any music, sound, footage, photos or graphics contained in your entry. If any record company or music publisher or copyright holder contacts us about an entry's music rights, we will refer that company to YOU so be sure to obtain all the appropriate clearances beforehand.
