I've submitted my short film to Cannes Short Film Corner, and it got rejected within less than 24 hours. What does it mean?
I'm not talking about the competition, or any other category, I'm talking about the Corner. I've never heard about somebody got rejected by CSFC. As far as I know, it's purpose is to place your film in the market, and make sure it's a film, not a birthday video.
Yet, I've got rejected. Before I submit to other categories, I want to ask a question - what does it mean?
Does that mean my film is so bad that it looks like a birthday video, and I shouldn't even try to submit to other categories? In fact, if it got rejected at CSFC, it is not worth sending to ANY festival in the world? It's not my first short film, and I wouldn't be sending a birthday video.
Or I've not met the technical requirements, like video/audio format, subtitles, resolution, black screen, double submission, length at etc? Although I'm sure I did check everything before sending. Do they have a software to filter submissions that do not meet the requirements? Can they actually reject a film for having a low sound kbps, black screen at the beginning, or even if it is 1 second longer than 15 min?
How can I know that?
