6 • Commitment

This is usually a paid professional course. For this edition, Future Frames covers its cost, and participants pay only a nominal registration fee. With this gesture, the festival invests in storytellers, offering you intensive training in a small group, on terms rarely available. In return, we ask for your full commitment: places are limited, so please apply only if you are confident you can be there for all five evenings. That way, every place goes to someone able to take it up.

Tick the boxes below only if you can honour all of them: *

I understand that, for everyone’s safety, the organisers may ask anyone who appears to be under their influence not to take part in that session.I will respect and protect the privacy of my fellow participants.

7 • Filming & photography

Parts of the workshop will be filmed and photographed. Future Frames may use the material for publicity across social and traditional media, and Liviu Tipurita, the course facilitator, to promote future runs of this course and other courses he teaches. Please apply on that understanding.

Future Frames - SC Patratul Rosu SRL is the data controller for its use of this material; its privacy notice gives the details. Liviu Tipurita is the data controller for his own use, registered with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ZA361795); his privacy notice is at www.retreatsincrete.com/course-privacy-notice.

Please choose one of the options below; both are equally welcome, and neither affects selection. If you change your mind, tell us as soon as possible at liviu.tipurita@futureframes.ro - and in any case before filming begins. We hold firmly to this for a practical reason: once footage is recorded, particularly wide shots of the whole group, editing one person out afterwards is difficult and often impossible.

I agree to be filmed and photographed, and to the material being used as described above.I would prefer to stay out of shot.

Your health information will be treated with the full care it deserves. Only Liviu Tipurita, a fully qualified British hypnotherapist, will read it. Future Frames’ technical staff, who run the website, may have access to the system strictly for its maintenance and are bound by confidentiality.

We delete applications one year after our selection decision, and participants’ forms three years after the workshop. If you agree to hear about future workshops, we keep your name and email address for that purpose alone - for three years, or until you ask us to stop.

You may ask to see, correct or delete your information, or withdraw your consent, at any time: for the information on this form and for photos and video used by Liviu Tipurita, write to liviu.tipurita@futureframes.ro; for material used by Future Frames, to info@futureframes.ro.
