The "Fiorenzo Serra" Visual Anthropology Workshop, managed by the Department of History, Human Sciences and Education of the University of Sassari and the Società Umanitaria -Cineteca Sarda, as part of a project aimed at enhancing public awareness of the director, filmmaker and ethnologist Fiorenzo Serra, announce for the year 2019 the Competition for ethnographic film productions titled “Fiorenzo Serra Film Festival”. The definition “film production" means any audiovisual product, be it a fiction or a documentary film, produced using analogic or digital technologies.
The competition aims to promote the production of films that can contribute to the awareness of ethnographic cultural realities through the audiovisual medium and pursues the objective of protecting and implementing, in a scientific and systematic manner, national and foreign audiovisual productions concerning the ethnographic,archaeological, historical, cultural-linguistic and environmental heritages. The competition also has the function of better defining, within the framework of the theoretical-methodological debate of the demo-ethno-nthropological,disciplines, not only the important role of visual anthropology, but also the objective of supporting the realization of audiovisual documentation concerning the identity and the cultural specificities of national and international social realities.
The competition, which until the 2018 edition was named "Competition Fiorenzo Serra for films and ethnographic documentaries" from the 2019 edition onwards will be called "Fiorenzo Serra Film Festival".

The awards are three (3) and are as follows:

€ 3,000.00 award to the first film;
€ 2,000.00 award to the second film;
€ 1,000.00 award to the third film.

There will be a special mention called "Antonio Simon Mossa special prize", dedicated to the memory of the
famous Sassari filmmaker, a close friend of Fiorenzo Serra, which will be assigned to one of the out-of-competition
films (ie films regularly registered concerning aspects not strictly related to the theme of the third edition).
The awards are given to the signer of the registration form.
