Online Isolation Short Videos Festival is the online event dedicated to the fight against Coronavirus situation in the World. The main aim of the festival is to support people in their self-isolation during these difficult times. The festival is arranged by the same organisators who run the popular Russian International Horror Film Festival and Awards “DROP”. The goal of the festival is to entertain people in self-isolation. Submitters can be both professional filmmakers, bloggers and ordinary amateur videographers. We accept only short videos shot by a smartphone or any other device not longer than 30 minutes and not shorter than 5 seconds. Each video should have some concrete message. It can be of any genre. But all videos must tell some story of your home isolation, describe your way of life in the present-day situation.
Now it is the 2nd edition of the festival. And we decided to enlarge the scope of the topic: the festival is dedicated not only to pandemic lockdown, but also to any sort of personal isolation: spiritual, mental, physical. It is dedicated to people’s loneliness in the World, to the human search of the essence of life and the source of love and freedom.
Hello there,
I hope you are keeping well and safe in these unpredictable times.
Due to the emergency situation caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, we were not able to decide and plan on this year's festival sooner. The ongoing pandemic has roiled every layer of society, and with no end in sight in the foreseeable future, any public event has become infeasible.
We now have come to final decision, that we will be holding this year's festival online. We are currently working on finding an online platform to be able to hold the festival in the last week of October like every year. We are talking with two parties, and hoping to get the best suitable platform for us soon.
Submissions are now open, and hope you will join us in experiencing an innovative and exciting festival. Please provide all the information as required in the application for better review and chances of selection.
Please stay tuned, and stay safe, and let me know if you have any questions.
Yours,
Lobsang Wangyal

Established in 2014, we are the World renown GREAT LAKES CHRISTIAN FILM FESTIVAL focused on spotlighting the best faith-based submissions every year. What does that mean? For starters, this is a festival for Christian Filmmakers or anyone looking to submit a Christian-themed film. The target audience is for the WHOLE family, Grandma and Junior alike. Some projects, such as Passion of the Christ, might be too graphic or unsuitable for children under 14 years old. If you plan to submit a project, we suggest you please give us warning as to the content of the film so we can categorize it differently than a general audience rating. This does not guarantee it will be selected, but it does give us a reference point. The idea is to provide indie Christian Filmmakers an outlet and possible success full-time, as well as, opportunities for veteran movie industry folks to network, mentor, and inspire the next generation film stars and moguls.

Our motto is,the talented art pioneers who are spread throughout the universe and the young artists, who embark on their journey with the arts, must collaborate with the artists of Indian subcontinent to understand, perceive, admire and promote the diverse arts, which exist in all parts of the universe.
This time of pandemic has turned us upside down with everything we have had to learn to overcome.
We are involved in a thousand tasks around the house: constantly checking the cell phone, complying with teleworking and remote study. In the end we end up exhausted with no desire to do anything other than think about what will come tomorrow.
The idea of this project is born from a filmed correspondence between friends, which allowed us, from a new sensibility, to tell us about our daily experiences and what we have felt during our quarantine.
This experience of creation from intimacy, without pretenses or unnecessary artifices, but from the feeling and the desire to share, helped to discover the poetic potential of the surroundings that surround us.
The correspondences are based on the exchange of ideas that allows us to observe the world of the other. They allow us to discover the geographical universe that we inhabit and that unites us when we are motivated to share these feelings.
Filmed Correspondences is a relatively new format, which allows filmmakers or artists to tell their way of looking at the world in a very traditional way.
