Here is the detailed information about our film festival:
Isolation & Suffering Short Videos Festival is the semi-online semi-offline cinema event dedicated to the fight against Coronavirus in the World + also to all the possible types of peoples’ sufferings and tragedies which humans may face during their lives. The main aim of the festival is to support people in their self-isolation during difficult times. At the same time the festival is also dedicated to internal human psychological isolation due to loneliness, illness or betrayal.
The festival is arranged by the same organisators who run the popular Moscow International Horror, Action and Fantastic Film Festival & Awards “DROP”. The goal of the festival is to entertain people in any situation of personal isolation or misunderstanding. Submitters can be both professional filmmakers, bloggers and ordinary amateur videographers.
Terms and conditions: We accept only short videos shot by a smartphone or any other device not longer than 59 minutes and not shorter than 5 seconds. Each video should have some concrete message. It can be of any genre. But all videos must tell some story of your personal isolation or suffering, describe your way of life in this or that difficult situation.
Prizes: The best 5 videos will be combined into 1 feature almanac and will be not only published on our festival’s web site, but will be also screened LIVE in the offline regime in a big cinema theatre of Moscow city. During the screening viewers will vote for the main winner. The 4 best films apart from the cinema screening will receive sponsoring valuable gifts + diplomas. The main winner will receive awards statue + diploma + valuable certificate for free dcp convertation or post-production service and a right for commercial distribution provided by the festival’s partner — Tricolor TV VOD platform.
The other selected films will receive laurels and one of the following status: official selection / quarter finalist / semi-finalist / finalist / super finalist.
