INDEPENDENT SHORT FILMS COMPETITION

alicja — Mon, 19 May 2014 14:52:43 +0000

Show yourself in Kazimierz Dolny and Janowiec nad Wisłą. We are waiting for your films until the 31th of May 2014. The main prize of the ISFC is 5000 PLN. There are also two additional prizes: 3000 and 2000 PLN.

Films which enter the ISFC are feature films, documentaries, animations ad experimental films that last up to 50 minutes and were produced in 2013 or 2014. Older films can (only conditionally) be admitted if their screening during the Festival will be their first presentation in Poland.

Taking part in the Short Films Competition not only gives the opportunity to be shown on the big screen but also to confront one’s ideas with the most difficult and demanding jury: the audience. In the Short Films Competition the films are judged by an Independent Jury chosen from the festival audience. Members of the Independent Jury do not have any connections with films presented within the Competition or with the film industry itself – no film institutions’ employees, students or graduates from film schools or from university departments connected with films will be accepted. Before becoming a member of the Jury, each candidate is asked to sign a special declaration. A perfect candidate for an Independent Jury is a regular viewer.

THE AUDIENCE POLL

At the Two Riversides the only jury is the audience. Films which take part in the Poll are ones from the World Under Canvas and feature film premieres from other sections produced in 2013 and 2014.

The audience votes on special coupons grading the films on a scale from 1 to 5. The results of the Audience Poll are announced on the last day of the festival. The viewers taking part in the Poll can apply to take part in the workshops during the MFF in Venice, to which Two Riversides’ partner invites each year. The person wishing to apply has to fill the voting coupon correctly and give his/her contact information on the back side of the coupon. The drawing takes place during the festival’s official closing gala.
