Riservati Pictures Festival ()

Festival start: 01 June 2022      Festival end: 31 March 2023

Welcome to the Riservati Pictures Festival!

This is the event you’ve been looking for for so long: an online festival and screenplay competition focused on movies that excite, on movies with a fast pacing and continuous twists.

The films selected at this festival are the ones that keep our eyes glued to the screen. The ones where even if you wanted, you could never fall asleep on your seat.

Every month we will select a winner and a runner up in each category.

The monthly winner and runner up of each category will compete in the final event for the “Best Riservati Short”, “Best Riservati Long” and “Best Riservati Story” awards at our in person festival, hosted in February in a beautiful underground venue in London, UK.

-Best Riservati Short will receive a minimum of £500 cash prize.

-Best Riservati Long will receive a minimum of £1,500 cash prize.

-Best Riservati Story will receive a minimum of £500 cash prize.

All these cash prizes can be raised depending on number of submissions.
