FIAPF's role as a regulator of international film festivals is to facilitate the job of the producers, sales agents and distributors in the management of their relationships with the festivals.
The FIAPF International Film Festivals Regulations constitute a trust contract between those festivals and the film industry at large.
FIAPF's role is also to support some festivals' efforts in achieving higher standards over time, despite economic or programming challenges which often stem from a combination of unfavourable geopolitical location, budgets, and a difficult place in the annual festivals' calendar.
FIAPF sees the possibility of films competing at multiple festivals as a plus in terms of movie promotion because a film could be helped by having the chance of winning more than one award.
The FIAPF rule change does not mean that festivals would have to amend their own rules, which may preclude films that have competed elsewhere.
FIAPF now plans to collect data on accredited festivals, including how many world and international premieres they have, plus other factors such as the number of industry professionals and journalists attending, the number of screenings and so on.
