The Department of Modern and Contemporary Culture of the Ministry of Culture and the Rialto Theatre announce the opening of applications for the International Short Film Festival of Cyprus (ISFFC).
The main objective of the IFFMK is to promote the art of cinema by presenting a diverse programme of short films from around the world. It also aims to showcase the work of talented filmmakers who successfully use creative forms of cinematic language and, in the context of a short film, effectively tell a story. The aim of the Festival is to promote and disseminate short film, as well as to develop a spirit of friendship and cooperation between filmmakers.
The Festival is an annual institution and the competition section of the Festival is open to short films: fiction, documentary, experimental, student and animated, whose duration should not exceed 25 minutes. The Festival announces an open call for submissions, for all films only through the following platforms: shortfilmdepot.com and filmfreeway.com.
Cypriot films compete for both the international and national awards of the Cyprus Ministry of Culture. Cypriot filmmakers living and working in Cyprus or abroad are eligible for the National Competition Section. Only only films that have premiered in Cyprus are eligible to participate.
The Cyprus International Short Film Festival has been selected by the European Film Academy to participate as a partner in its network of festivals. Consequently, from 2019 the Festival has the right to nominate a film as a candidate for the European Film Academy Awards.
The Festival will take place at the Rialto Theatre in Limassol from 7 to 13 October 2023.
The awarding of the films participating in the National and International Competition will be entrusted to a five-member International Jury, whose names will be announced later.
Interested parties are invited to apply for participation by 15 June 2023. Details of the conditions and the application form can be obtained at www.moec.gov.cy (Announcements) and www.isffc.com.cy.
For further information, please contact 25343907 and e-mail info@isffc.com.cy.
