Acceptable forms of proof include: a picture of a lab-provided film can, a photo of a few frames from your print, leader with the film’s title, an image of the print being projected, etc.

You may also submit proof in the form of a listing from a previous screening that includes the exhibition format of the film, or a distribution catalog listing that includes the format of the film.

Please email proof photos or documentation to info@celluloidnow.org with a subject line including the title of your film and the word “proof”.
