The term “Hollywood” used in the festival’s name is symbolic and descriptive and does not imply any affiliation, partnership, or representation with Hollywood studios, film academies, or any official Hollywood institutions.
The festival does not provide any guarantee of distribution, representation, or career advancement for film, screenplay, or music projects; its purpose is to offer artistic visibility and international promotion.
However, if a film receives the Jury Special Award, a presentation for distribution will be made.
