From: "Film Festival "Kota 2023" <kota2023 la gmail.com>

[deadline: 15.4.2009]

WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU

i.e. invite the students of your university/academy/film school, that is,
the members of your club/organization, as well as all independent filmmakers
to participate at the first short minimalist film festival, Kota2023, to be
held in Skopje – the Republic of Macedonia. In brief, it has been conceived
as a festival of films in which the idea is the crucial element. The one
spanning between the ages of Plato and Hitchcock, as a parallel universe in
which everyone works under the same conditions. Anyone not thinking too
academically (traditionally, reservedly) or too experimentally (i.e.
changing only one ingredient in the mixture), as well as too radically
(revolutionary, intending to overthrow the world), and who instead prefers
to deliver their message in simple (visual) elements, is welcome to take
part.

It places the films in four categories*:
 A Short Film (up to 30 min.)** - General
 A Short Film (up to 30 min.)** on the Topic Set by the Organizer
 A Short Film (up to 30 min.)** Centering around Sexuality (homo/bi***,
loveless sex and vice versa, etc.) and the Problems It Entails
 A Short Animated**** Film (up to 30 min.)**

* You could send all sorts of materials belonging to these categories, apart
from commercials. This would involve experimental films, films shot in a
single take, one-minute films, documentaries, music videos, etc...

** Your film could be slightly longer, but no more than 45 minutes, i.e.
half the length of an average feature film.

*** In the Republic of Macedonia certain topics as homo/bisexuality are
still covered by a veil of mystery, even though widely “practiced”. The
purpose of this category is just that: to break the taboos and discuss them
openly.

**** There are wonderful Macedonian artists, but only a handful venture in
the domain of animation and no one has even attempted creating cartoons.
This category represents a challenge of a sort, an attempt to create
something either individually or in collaboration.

The given topic, non-compulsory for the films of the first, third and fourth
category (which does not mean they are not allowed to treat it), for this
year is:
Self-Search and Epilogue and all materials (produced in 2007, 2008 or 2009),
in DVD (PAL) format, must arrive by the 15th of April 2009 at the following
address:

Film Festival "Kota 2023"
