The cultural association Mitreo Film Festival, for the 19th edition of the festival of the same name, announces a selection call for international short films with a maximum duration of 10 minutes, made by filmmakers under 25 years of age, developed on the central theme of “Courage”.
Courage should be not only the main plat, but it must also connotate the language and feeling, the setting and the atmosphere by which the story unfolds, whatsoever kind of genre the author narrates his story (comedy drama etc). Moreover courage should also inspire the author in such a way to make him choose a courageous form of performance, in a few words we are also looking for courageous, and daring film makers, who are able to work in a different way and from an original perspective.
It’s basically important that the theme of courage is clearly expressed in the synopsis of the work
and in the author’s notes which each candidate must produce together with the application form, under penalty of exclusion.
1) SHORT FILM CATEGORY:
The prize consists of money and a sculpture from the Mithraeum
