What is “My Europe Film Festival” about?
Europe is being regarded from many different points of view. The term “European” is widely used. But what does it mean? Many people have images, thoughts, ideals, critics and opinions on what it represents.
In order to clear and shape this concept, Citizens of Europe established ”My Europe Film Festival”. This contest shows films Europewide every year at several places across the continent in order to promote discussion about different visions on “Europe”. The festival adresses citizens, artists and filmmakers.
My Europe aims are:
• Promoting short films independently from their country of origin
• Reflecting views and opinions on Europe
• Raising awareness for short films on a Europe-wide level
• Initialising contacts between young professionals in the film promotion/festivaland arthouse cinema sector
• Giving access to Eastern and South-Eastern Europe for short film distribution
Films have to address one of these two programs:
• Living in Europe. It focuses on time, cultures, traditions, expectations, authenticity and particularities.
• Politics and policies. It makes a statement about borders, conflicts and diplomacy, decisions and consequences, confrontations and compromises.
The minimum duration is 5 minutes and the maximum 30 minutes.
