Tomorrow Unlocked Film Festival ()

Início do Festival: 27 Setembro 2021      Fim do Festival: 30 Setembro 2021

Tomorrow Unlocked Film Festival (TUFF) is the first international film festival with an aim to tell engaging stories about how technology influences our lives now, and in the future , and engage with a broad audience of innovators, artists, technologists, thinkers, scientists, hackers and entrepreneurs.

We want you to make a short film, no longer than 15 minutes, with a strong storyline. We’re looking for quality above quantity, so keep in mind that it’s not about the length of the film. Films should be impactful and human, while keeping technology as the hero. Filmmakers will therefore need to transform complex technical information into easy to understand stories. Important topics for TUFF are the future of “Health”, “Work” and “Communities” and the role of technology within these three distinct areas.
