Article 1. Objective.

- The main goals of CINHOMO include the dissemination and promotion of films that support sexual diversity and gender identity through works of artistic and social relevance. Our purpose is to provide a venue for showing these films, which have difficulty accessing conventional channels for film exhibitions. In many cases, they have received favourable reviews or have received awards at prestigious international film festivals.

- We also aim to feature the work of social or cultural groups from countries where there is no access or limited access to film distribution despite being of great interest.

- Our film festival intends to provide referents for people whose sexual orientation or gender identity is non-heteronormative, promoting greater visibility, normalisation and full integration in a society based on respect.

- Furthermore, through our documentary film section, we aim to create awareness about the situation of LGBTI people around the world, contributing to further progress of human rights

- All works submitted must have been produced between 2021 and 2023, both included.
- MP4 (h.264) or AVI formats are accepted for the selection process. The only supports accepted for screening during the Festival are: MP4 (h.264), DVD, Blue Ray, DCP.

- DOCUMENTARY FEATURE FILMS shall last more than 30.
- DOCUMENTARY SHORT FILMS shall last less than 30.
- Films will be exhibited in original versions with subtitles in Spanish, except for films in Spanish. Therefore, copies submitted to the Festival should include subtitles in Spanish or, at least, an .srt file with the text in Spanish.
- Copies of the films will be returned, if agreed, at the organization's expense, after the Festival. To this end, the return address and required deadline have to be clearly indicated by the senders.
- CinHomo reserves the right to exhibit the shortlisted material at any time, as part of the programme of socio-educational activities of Fundación Triángulo, promoter of the Festival. In any case, this use shall be for non-commercial, non-profit purposes, and always citing the authorship of the works.
