or video, the festival will only then accept limited responsibility for the film or video extending to the time that the festival
organization returns the film or video to the shipping company. The definition of this limited responsibility only includes a
refund of laboratory expenses for making a new print of the roll or rolls of film damaged, or in case of a video, a duplication
of the videotape. This refund will be calculated according to current German laboratory prices. It does not extend to negatives, positives or any other type of film component. In case of faulty projection, the festival cannot be held responsible for
immaterial damage suffered by director, producer or distributor. Complaints will only be considered if you lodge them within
6 weeks of the festival’s end. Press kits, photos, videocassettes and other material are not included in this limited insurance
