We are pleased to announce that the 4th annual altcineAction! Online Short Film Festival for Balkan filmmakers will start receiving and screen films from 1st December.
The capacity of the festival is still 480 minutes and submissions will be accepted on a “first-come, first-served” basis.
The online viewing and voting will last 7 weeks and the closing ceremony will be held at the Greek Film Archive on 22-23-24 January 2016.
We invite any filmmaker from Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Kosovo*, F.Y.R.O.M, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Turkey to submit their short films and win amazing prizes.
We also invite any cinephile from around the globe to watch them, vote, write critiques and become eligible to win a unique International award.
All altcineAction! prizes are of a highly educational and career-evolving nature.
The three major prizes, exclusively based on the audiences’ votes and critiques, as well as altcine’s choice, the “Alida Dimitriou Award”, offer services for the winners’ next film sponsored by top film companies. Specialist juries award two more prizes for photography and editing offering professional software. This year, our most innovative award, the Best Critic Award, has expanded and become a larger action through “the 5C project” supported by Creative Europe – MEDIA programme of the European Union.
The 5C Project
the 5C Project is a film literacy travelling program, taking five young people on a cinematic journey to four Balkan cities in company of film industry professionals, academics, critics and local audiences. Film as a place for debate and as a tool for getting to know your neighbours.
If you are a budding film critic, cinephile or just love writing and thinking about films, join us on a journey to explore the four cities, Athens, Split, Cetate and Tirana, their culture and cinema!
Write the best reviews of the short films participating at this year's altcineAction! online film festival for Balkan filmmakers, and you could be one of the five ambassadors of the 5C Project. Simply go online to altcineAction!, where films will be uploaded from 1 December onwards, watch the films, and submit your critiques. An international jury of film scholars will read the reviews and choose the most promising young five critics to participate in the project.
The International jury consists of Dr. Marian Tutui (Romania), Dr. Gergana Doncheva (Bulgaria) Dr. Ana Grgic (Croatia) and Professor Lydia Papadimitriou (UK/Greece)
As an ambassador, you will have the opportunity to attend specialised workshops and seminars in each city in the course of the year, participate in film screenings and Q&As with local audiences and share your unique experiences online. While rubbing shoulders with some of the best European critics and film industry professionals, you will learn to perfect your art and find out about the “ins and outs” of the cinema world.
