11 or, for Windows 10, the default browser: Microsoft Edge.
b. Windows XP/Windows Vista users. Since April 2014, Microsoft has abandoned this
operating system and most browsers will not be able to use it effectively. However, you can try
the browsers described below.

● But I am a Mac (or Linux) user
In the most popular distributions such as Ubuntu (https://www.ubuntu.com) and Linux Mint
(https://www.linuxmint.com) you can use the browsers described above without problems.
In Mac OSX we advise you to upgrade to the minimum version El Capitan 10.11
(https://support.apple.com/es-mx/HT206886) or the latest version of your MaOS Sierra 10.12
operating system (http://www.apple.com/la/macos/sierra/), which will always have the latest

exclusively to avoid slowdowns.
The Selection and Qualification Jury is demanding. The more information you have, the better

a) In Open mode: the Author/Producer/Distributor decides that the short film will be shown
openly by anyone who visits this Website.
b) In Jury Restricted Mode: The Author/Producer/Distributor decides that only the members of
the Jury will see his short film.
● But I have submitted my short films through the associated platforms, how does the
Organization know that I want to submit them privately?
The Organization has provided the partner platforms with the basis for this edition of FICIE,
which includes these two types of participation. On these platforms, the author will be notified
to confirm whether they are to be presented in open or private format.
Once you are a registered user, in the section "Send Video", at the end of the screen you will
see the option to choose the participation mode.
No. This choice is mandatory. The system will not move forward if one of the two modalities is
not chosen.
To adapt it to your viewing via streaming on this website although it plays most of the known
video and audio formats.
Many programs convert from one format to another and many of them are free of charge.
FICIE maintains a high level of production. We recommend the use of professional software
that exports directly to this format. On Mac OSX there is Final Cut. Here is a first approach to
this program.
There are also other programs that allow you to convert between different formats with high
quality results.

On Mac and Windows we would have the Mpeg Streamclip and also with the XMedia Recode
No. No. The format we propose establishes the perfect relationship between quality and
online viewing is suitable for any user to view short films with quality.

selected for the competition in the Official Section and they will be contacted via e-mail, which
will have been provided in their contact details.
If the Selection Jury considers it so, it will have selected you as a finalist. We will contact you
and explain the steps to follow.
It is a non-competitive section where works from students from educational and university
centres in the province of Alicante and the Valencian Community will be screened that, in the
opinion of the Selection Jury, have stood out as a good example of the talent pool, paying
attention to those works made in Valencian language and those from educational centres, true
seedbeds of future filmmakers.
