Festival Internacional de Cine Silente (0)

Festival start: 01 March 2018      Festival end: 03 March 2018

The International Silent Film Festival wants to celebrate the possibilities of cinema as an art of entertainment, education and emancipation of the public, reclaiming the narratives of glances, dramatic gestures, musical accompaniment and even the importance of intertitles for contemporary filmmakers to be inspired.

All selected films will receive an award of recognition in digital form, sponsored by prestigious cultural institutions.

We invite producers, directors, and the public in general to submit a short or feature film with the basic elements of Silent Films: Absence of dialogues and original or publicly owned score integrated. It is not necessary for submitted films to be presented in black and white, or with intertitles. Sound atmosphere does not necessarily have to be omitted.

Homages, parties, rituals and personal or collective memories represented in the material will be given preference in this call for entries.
