1. Accreditation requirements
Journalists and photographers covering the festival are eligible for accreditation. Submission of an application does not guarantee accreditation. The organiser reserves the right to decide whether to accept or reject an application. We ask that accreditation applications be submitted in good time within the specified period. Only applications accompanied by a recent portrait photograph will be processed. Important: A press card alone is not sufficient for accreditation.
2. Proof of professional activity
To obtain accreditation, you must provide proof of your current professional activity as a media representative. At least one of the following forms of proof is required:
- proof of a recent publication of film-related coverage (article, feature, etc.)
- a link to an online publication
- Imprint listing you as an editor or author
- Alternatively: a written editorial assignment for reporting
As an accredited press representative, you are entitled to attend all film screenings and supporting events. Admission is granted only upon presentation of both your accreditation pass and a valid ticket. There is no entitlement to admission for sold-out events.
3. Accreditation fee and deadline
Accreditation for press representatives is granted free of charge upon receipt of a valid application. Please note that the online accreditation application is only complete once you have received a confirmation email at the address you provided.
