Rules

For all films in foreign languages or in dialects with Italian on-screen subtitles (check above for
exceptions and special cases), including English spoken films.

VFF requires English off-screen
subtitles. This will allow the Festival’s vast international audience, including jurors, press and industry
professional, to fully understand and appreciate the film dialogues. In any case, English off-screen
subtitles must include all dialogues and lines in English, regardless of the main language of the film.

 Italian language films (with English on-screen subtitles) containing dialogues in other languages or
dialects needing translation
