Balkans Beyond Borders (BBB) announces the opening of the submissions period for the 12th Balkans Beyond Borders Short Film Festival. This year we get and give inspiration from the topic: Skin to (Screen to) Skin
Who is eligible to participate at the 12th BBB Short Film Festival
We invite young filmmakers to get inspired by this year’s topic and send their film until the 20 of May. We accept all film genres (fiction, animation, experimental and documentary shorts, as well as video art) with duration up to 30 minutes.
Eligible short film submissions are:
- short films from filmmakers up to 35 years old or older than 35 under the condition that their submitted film is their debut
- filmmakers with their origin from a Balkan country or/and their film to be a Balkan production and
- short films connected to the festival’s topic.
All short film submissions will go through our pre-selection committee which consists of young professionals from the film industry ensuring a strong quality programme which will cover all aspects of this year’s theme. The final Jury Team consisting of well-known professionals from the film industry will give the BBB BEST FILM award which gets 1000 euros as well as the BBB FIRST ENTRY award and three Special Mentions. Last but not least the audience will vote for their favourite film selecting the winner of the BBB Audience Award.
What is BBB Short Film Festival
“Balkans Beyond Borders Short Film Festival” is the only Festival that travels every year in a different city, and it is one of the very few short film festivals focusing on the Balkan countries. It provides the ground for building bridges between various actors and supporting the interaction of the new generation of artists and various institutions that the Balkan cultural industry can be promoted at a European level. It is also a unique festival because every year it has a different inspirational topic raising awareness on contemporary issues and trends of the time in order to strengthen the dialogue and the knowledge about the region. After visiting 10 different cities in the Balkans and the EU, featuring over 450 Balkan and over 260 non-Balkan short films, inviting more than 150 participating directors, guest speakers, BBB Ambassadors and local partners in every city the BBB Short Film Festival is a hub for productive networking and cooperation among the region’s stakeholders.
The destination for the 12th Balkans Beyond Borders Short Film Festival will be Pristina, Kosovo where we are going to expand the BBB growing community of artists, researchers, journalists, and partners in the region.
