Arrival in Orlando by plane will most likely be through the Orlando International Airport. The Airport is situated a slight distance from attractions and lodging due to the enormous amount of traffic it receives on a daily basis. Hotel shuttles & taxi’s are readily available to accomodate your needs for transport.

We recommend arranging a hotel shuttle in advance of your arrival, as taxi fare can be unexpectedly expensive. Rental vehicles are also plentiful for single or large groups.

Recommended and discount lodging details can be found on the festival website: http://peacefestival.us/lodging If your plans include time to take in Orlando’s world class attractions, the festival has made arrangements with area tour agencies to assist you with planning and excursion options. Please contact the festival at:[email protected] for recommended travel, lodging and tour agencies.

Attention Foreign Attendees: If you require a verification letter of your attendance at the festival for obtaining a Travel Visa, please submit a registration form and indicate the address of the American Embassy or Consulate you are applying through for your Visa. http://peacefestival.us/registration/

What to Know About Participating in the FestivalOur wish is to make the entire experience pleasant and productive for you during the Film Festival portion of the program. We’ve considered how other festivals operate and would like to explain a few of our rules:

1. This is a Peace & Film Festival, designed to bring large, culturally diverse audiences together for a positive experience. This means there will be multiple programs going at the same time. We want your film to show perfectly to the largest audience possible, so please be patient if something needs attending.

2. Selected films must meet the requirements established in the guidelines: Animation or Family Oriented Features, Shorts, Documentaries or Student Shorts. If you’re film is not selected, it does not mean we didn’t like it. It means it didn’t fit the guidelines or there were other films that fit better into the overall program due to content or available time. We have a limited number of showtimes so everything has to fit. Please don’t be offended if you don’t make it your first time. Our entry is free, so you can always try again next year.

3. We’re passionate about films and want to support the film makers. We’ve invited the entire world to come and participate in the festival, including officials from world governemnts, celebrities, artisits, performers, industry leaders and general audiences. You can help us help you by promoting your participation in the festival via social media and your local news. You can also sign up for news alerts about the festival via our website.

4. We’re tech savvy and will rely on sms alerts to keep everyone aware of what’s going on at the festival. We also manage the main e-mail box for the festival and route messages appropriately for action. We’ll do our best to speak with you directly before and during the events but please understand we’re a small staff with a large project to move forward. If it’s urgent, text us. we will respond.

WHAT WE DON’T LIKE: Festivals that require you to Premier your film to be accepted - We have no preference.Festivals that charge fee’s for on time submissions - If you’re late, there is a small charge, that’s it.Festivals that forgot about finding great films for their audiences - We’re showing great films from around the world. Festivals that don’t present Awards - The grand finale of the entire festival includes film awards during a fashion show.

REqUIRED INFORmATION PRE SCREENING HANDOUTS

A test screening will be made prior to your scheduled showing. You must be present at the test to prevent improper format, sound or display issues.

Only you know how your film should look, so please be there for the test!


Please be responsible with ad and poster placements. We will also do our best to have rotating artwork on electronic signage throughout the festival - prior to showings.

Representing a Nation or CountryThe International Peace & Film Festival will be attended by representatives and citizens from many nations. Held in Orlando, this event includes features that attract many interests from government to culture, science, art and business.

Representation in the Hall of Nations is reserved for official delegates, consulars and embassy staff. Each country that participates in the festival will have enormous opportunity to meet with the general public and build positive relations for tourism, business and general awareness of their respective country. This is the best venue for cultural exchange in a setting that encourages exploration, learning and good will.

The combined element of a Peace & Film Festival offers national delegates an opportunity to iintroduce films and film makers from their home country. This is an optional activity but is encouraged by the staff as it synergizes the benefits of the overall festival program. We will ask delegates of a respective country to accept awards for film makers who are unable to attend the festival.

A national costume fashion show will be held at the festival, we ask that each country in attendance be ready to provide their national costume to be presented in the show. Models will be available to wear the costumes if needed. We understand that not every invited country can participate at the official level. For this reason a country can designate a local delegate to attend the festival on their behalf. Please ensure your appointed delegates are versed in your country’s demographics, culture, tourism and business opportunities.
