We recommend you create different folders even if they do not match categories; it will help you organize the films and your work. Folders can refer or not to official festival categories (animation, fiction, etc.). They can match classification criteria (directors under 30 years old, Portuguese films, etc.).
Click on your festival's name on the left-hand side of the screen and you will have the option to create a folder:



If the folder you create is public, the name thereof will be seen by the participants. If, on the contrary, you create a private folder, only festival guests will be able to see the name and its contents. Private folders are marked with an asterisk for the administrator.





You can erase the folder you have created but the videos contained therein will also be deleted. If you select the folder you will have the option to delete it. Folders can not be renamed.
