When you request accreditation, the Communications Department records your name and affiliation as well as pertinent information (address, phone number, email, etc.).
You are requested to submit the following:
1. A letter from your editor/producer on company letterhead that assigns you to cover ViewFinders, states the intention to publish/air your reports, and specifies in as much detail as possible the type of coverage you are planning (e.g. overview of the Festival, interviews with directors, reviews of films, etc.)
2. Recent coverage of either a film festival, a film related story, or an arts/entertainment story written or produced by you.
3. A recent copy of your publication/program with circulation information.
No new accreditation requests are considered without the above. Submission of the above does not guarantee accreditation and MUST be received well before the accreditation deadline. You will be notified as to the status of your accreditation request within one week of receipt.
Pending approval of your request, you are given a media pass. Forms received after April 15, 2008, will not be processed.
Early application betters your chance of accreditation but in no way guarantees it. Media accreditation to ViewFinders is entirely at the discretion of the Communications Department.
Returning journalists
If you attended the 27th Atlantic Film Festival or the 6th annual ViewFinders in 2007, submitted your coverage from last year, and are in good standing, you will be given priority accreditation to the 6th annual ViewFinders. If you have attended the Atlantic Film Festival or ViewFinders in the past but missed last year, please contact the Communications Department at the address above. Please ensure we have your correct affiliation, email, and mailing address. If your affiliation and/or address has changed, please notify the Communications Department as soon as possible. If you know of journalists who would like to attend the 7th ViewFinders: International Film Festival for Youth, please have them follow the procedures under "New Requests."
