CALL FOR ENTRIES INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM WEEK 2010 in BOLIVIA Cochabamba – Bolivia >> May 10th to May 15th 2010
From the beginning of last decade short films have been experimenting deep transformations leading the format to become an independent visual genre with a language and characteristics of its own.
Short films expose our stories, our lives, our beliefs and dreams. They give a voice to artists that find in the visual language a way to express our cultural universe.
And it is through film festivals that audiences get a chance to see the work of directors with an urge to say something relevant. Short films represent freedom and the democratization of access to visual media.
The International Short Film Week is a platform for short film scriptwriters, directors and producers to position their work as genre independent from feature films.
