Laurel
The tradition of awarding a laurel wreath to the winner began in the Pythias at Delphi in Greece in, the 6th century BC.

They were organized in honor of the god Apollo, who usually appeared with a laurel wreath in memory of the nymph Daphne who transformed herself into a plant to escape his amorous moods. The plant was named "Daphne".

The International Film Festival of Greece opens its doors to the audience for the fifth time to present domestic and international films, videos and screenplays.

The last events of the festival took place in the center of Athens with screenings at the historic Cinema "Iris" (Cinema Sector - ΠΟΦΠΑ), and hosted short and feature films from around the world. The festival screened fiction films, documentaries and animations by Greek and foreign directors with free entrance. A significant number of films had their world, European and Greek premieres in Greece.

CINERGIAS AWARDS FOR IBERO-AMERICAN SHORT FILM

Madrid, Spain


La Asociación Cultural Cinergias, con sede en Madrid, España, organiza la Edición Lanzamiento de Cinergias Festival de Cine Iberoamericano, que tiene como objetivo la promoción, difusión y reconocimiento de cineastas iberoamericanos para dar impulso a los jóvenes talentos con la divulgación de sus obras en formato corto, o de sus óperas primas de largometraje.

En esta primera edición de 2024 el festival busca generar una programación a partir de la reflexión, la multiplicidad de voces y discursos, y la diversidad de miradas.

El festival quiere constituirse en un espacio trascendente para un cine que sea relevantemente contemporáneo y que no tenga miedo de mirar al pasado ni al futuro.

Se trata de un festival no competitivo en su sección oficial de cortometrajes y largometrajes que pone el foco en una cuidada programación representativa de Iberoamérica y, en lugar de un premio único para uno de los participantes en la sección oficial, propone el pago por selección de 200 € a cada una de las películas seleccionadas.

El nombre de Cinergias surge de la combinación de las palabras cine y energía en su sentido de eficacia y virtud para obrar. Y a la vez alude al término sinergia, como la unión de varios elementos para obtener un resultado mayor al de esas partes por sí solas.

Cambridge, United Kingdom


Announcing our Summer Term Short Film, and Script Writing Competition!

This time we have multiple categories:

- ‘Open’ allows anything and everything, giving filmmakers the freedom and flexibility to create something unique!

- 'Silent Film' is a category that is open to both filmmakers, and scriptwriters who want to get creative with stage directions! We define a silent film as something that features no dialogue.

- 'Monologue' is a category open to both filmmakers and scriptwriters which emphasizes dialogue! Create a monologue that is 3-5 mins in length, on any topics, scenario or theme that you like!

Filmmakers can submit short films, 3-5 minutes in length, of any style, theme or genre. Scriptwriters should submit a scene, or collection of scenes that is four to five pages long, anonymously to our email account filmatjesus@gmail.com.

Outside of your specific subject, this is a wonderful opportunity to experiment with the film industry. And between the workload of the two terms, to essentially let loose. Get together with some friends – actors, musicians, camera crew – and let your creativity wander!

This competition is open to students at the University of Cambridge, Anglia Ruskin University, CATS Cambridge and alumni. And keep an eye out for regular prompts on our social media pages if you’re looking for inspiration.

As per previous film competition rules, if you are using actors, permission forms must be sent in. Any music must be royalty-free. And the film must only include the title, not the filmmakers name so that the judging is completely fully anonymous. The deadline for submissions is September 7th 2024.
