Festival start: 26 February 2021      Festival end: 07 March 2021

PLEASE, DO NOT SUBMIT A MOVIE IF IT IS NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO MOTORCYCLE
THE DATES OF THE EVENT ARE PROVISIONAL FOR THE MOMENT.

Here we go again for a new edition of the French Riviera Motorcycle Film Festival. The period may seem strange to do it but we need time to organize everything. We were lucky to be spared and the last edition of the Festival could take place just before the confinement. But that doesn't mean that everything will be all right. We are fully aware that funding for the 2021 edition will be very difficult to raise. As with every crisis, culture is the first to suffer from budget cuts. Funding, whether public or private, will certainly be reduced and we’ll have to find solutions. Nevertheless, we are opening today and until October 31, 2020 the registration period for filmmakers who wish to participate in the Festival. The next edition will take place in February or March 2021, but we cannot give you a more precise date at this time.

- Best Short Film Award
- Best Feature Film Award
- Audience Award

Other award categories (e.g., best fiction, best screenplay, etc.) could be defined in
depending on the number of films received by the Festival's selection committee.
