Subject: Important: Attendance Confirmation for Transparent Film Festival 7

Dear Filmmaker,

Congratulations — your film has been officially selected for Transparent Film Festival 7 and will be screened either live or online as part of this year's program.

If your project has received any nominations (e.g., Best in Category, Best Actor, Best Actress, or Best Director), please confirm your attendance no later than Tuesday at 5:00 PM. This will allow us to allocate your complimentary ticket.

Please note: nominees must either attend the festival in person or submit a pre-recorded acceptance speech (maximum 1 minute in length). If we do not receive a response by the deadline, we will assume you are unable to participate, and your screening may be moved to the online platform only.

Thank you, and we look forward to celebrating your work.

Warm regards,
The Transparent Film Festival Team
