Rejected submission: #250616-003710-836000

My submission #250616-003710-836000 included an Add to a Release Date and a Correction to a Release Date for the film Chidiya (2016/II). The Add went through with no problem, but the Correction was rejected. Specifically, the film is currently listed as premiering in India, on 23 May 2016, at the Zlin international Film Festival. I attempted to correct this to indicate that the premiere should be in the Czech Republic, on 28 May 2016, at the Zlin international Film Festival, with the following explanation: "The Zlin International Film Festival is held in the Czech Republic, not in India. Also, this film was shown at that festival on 28 May 2016, not 23 May; the festival did not even start that year until 27 May. See https://archiv.zlinfest.cz/en/25551-film-programme-56.zff?zf-fulltext=chidiya&btn-fulltext=Search&section=all&place=all&country=all&director=all&letter=all&day=all where this screening is listed." This was rejected with the "explanation": "Does not meet contribution guidelines. Your contribution has been declined. Please review our submission guidelines." This was obviously a processing error, not a failure to meet contribution guidelines. Does IMDb have any proof that there is a "Zlin International Film Festival" held in India? Names starting with "Zl" are characteristic of some Eastern European Slavic languages, not of Indian languages.
