The cultural association Mitreo Film Festival, for the 19th edition of the festival of the same name, announces a selection call for international short films with a maximum duration of 10 minutes, made by filmmakers under 25 years of age, developed on the central theme of “Courage”.
Courage should be not only the main plat, but it must also connotate the language and feeling, the setting and the atmosphere by which the story unfolds, whatsoever kind of genre the author narrates his story (comedy drama etc). Moreover courage should also inspire the author in such a way to make him choose a courageous form of performance, in a few words we are also looking for courageous, and daring film makers, who are able to work in a different way and from an original perspective.
It’s basically important that the theme of courage is clearly expressed in the synopsis of the work
and in the author’s notes which each candidate must produce together with the application form, under penalty of exclusion.

Since its inception, the "Festival of cinema unusual de Buenos Aires" has proposed to investigate the least explored aspects of the current film production in order to meet the expectations of those who yearn for a different filmic vision. A target to meet is to facilitate the knowledge of many new authors who, fleeing the current stereotype, offer an eclectic perspective from the thematic and visual.
From 19 to 29 October 2017, we carry out the Thirteenth Edition in important offices of the autonomous city of Buenos Aires. Of a competitive nature, it has a duration of 11 days and us sponsored by important institutional bodies. Also, carry out promotional, permanent monthly activities of the Festival: lights/signs and participations in film markets.
