COMMUNITY AGREEMENT

ORI REEL INTERNATIONAL FILM and ENTERTAINMENT FESTIVAL

In respect of our community of staff, volunteers, artists, audiences, and partners, we are committed to freedom of creative expression while simultaneously lifting up anti-racist, anti-sexist, and anti-discriminatory practices in all areas of the ORI Reel community. We strive for a harassment-free, safe, and respectful environment that protects community members from conduct that is inappropriate, disruptive, abusive, and threatening. Therefore, we ask that everyone in the ORI Reel community do their part in creating a space that is welcoming, safe, and inspiring to all by committing to being:

​

  • Inclusive and respectful of people of every race, ethnicity, gender identity/expression, disability, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, age, physical appearance and body size, language spoken, and immigration or economic status by refraining from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior or speech.

  • Intentional with your words by abstaining from hate speech or actions of any kind, including the abuse of chat function (ex. trolling).

  • Mindful of the boundaries of others by avoiding unwelcome sexual attention, harassment, stalking, and inappropriate physical contact of any kind.

  • Respectful of moderators, artists, and audience members by refraining from sustained disruption of courses or other virtual and live events.

  • Conscious of the power you hold by not engaging in abuse or intimidation including that related to race, gender, position, or wealth.

  • Respectful of the individual expression and intellectual property of others. It also requires that you acknowledge that others may have a similar or the same story idea or concept as yours.

  • Considerate of your own and others’ well-being 

 

 

Each report of a potential violation is taken seriously and reviewed carefully by ORI Reel’s Safety team. Any violation of these agreements can result in exclusion from ORI Reel programs, platforms, or spaces – including a complete ban on further participation in any ORI Reel program or event, or reporting to law enforcement officials.

​

While ORI Reel depends on the generosity, respect, and good faith of all community members, it is not a substitute for or waiver of standard intellectual property law including copyright, trademark, moral rights as well as right of privacy and/or right of publicity. Participation also requires that you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. We’re proud to be a welcoming and generous community where collaboration, mutual respect, and a desire to inspire positive change in the world are behind everything we do.
