Rules & Terms SCREENING and ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS The Anatomy Crime- Horror International Film Festival (A.C.H.I.F.F.) is an international film festival and accepts films and photos from around the globe. PLEASE NOTE: The Anatomy Crime- Horror International Film Festival does NOT waive entry fees. In fairness to all filmmakers, we do not grant waivers. A.C.H.I.F.F. believes waiving entry fees hurts the integrity of the competition. The same rules and entry fees should apply to all applicants so no one film is favored over another. In a similar respect A.C.H.I.F.F. does NOT invite films to be in competition. ONLY films submitted will be considered for competition.

Lastly, we wish all you filmmakers and photographers good luck! Premiere status will be one of the factors considered when determining a film's inclusion in the Anatomy Crime- Horror International Film Festival. At the very least, we require an Athens Premiere.
