SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS
Filmmakers are responsible for ensuring paid shipment of exhibition materials to the Festival. The Festival will incur only the cost of outbound shipments of the exhibition copy. Our Print Traffic Coordinator will contact you in January to make these arrangements. All international shipments must be accompanied by four (4) copies of a commercial (pro-formal) invoice. The Print Traffic Coordinator will provide the invoice as needed. Do NOT declare shipment value over $100USD. The exhibition copy in transit is insured by the Festival’s Film Floater policy that covers any loss or damage to them while in transit. Do NOT ship via cargo or airfreight. Do NOT use shipping fiber-filler or packing popcorn, as these can damage the exhibition copy.

If you have any questions, please contact festival@caamedia.org.

Please send your exhibition copy no later than February 17, 2017 to:

CAAM
Attn: Print Traffic
145 Ninth Street, Suite 350
San Francisco, CA 94103 USA
