- The project should be a feature film with theatrical & international potential (minimum length of 70 minutes)
- There should be a director & producer attached to the project, preferably producers or directors who are deemed capable of getting films off the ground
- The project should be forwarded to us before ***SEPTEMBER 19, 2011***
- Applications should include all the requested documents. Incomplete applications will not be taken into consideration for selection
- The project's complete (at least a second draft) screenplay should be available during CineMart
