FAQ
My film was already shown at the Chica Pelega Festival or the film club. Do I need to submit it again?
No. Create your account with the email you used to submit it. The film will already be in your dashboard, with its screenings and audience. Then just authorize it.
How do I send the file?
With a Google Drive link (shared as "anyone with the link"), a Dropbox link or a direct link to the file. We download it, convert it and upload it to the platform.
Are foreign films accepted?
Yes, but the platform is designed for Brazilian schools, so it needs Portuguese subtitles.
What about series?
Yes. Submit the first episode and mention in the synopsis that it is a series; we'll sort out the rest with you.
Who decides if the film is accepted?
Pupilo's curators. Even after approval, the film only goes live with your authorization.
