Closing : 30 June 2010
Festival: ?? August 2010 Rome & later other international venues


Makers of abstract and experimental films or AV Sequences often feel their work is not understood or valued properly in regular festivals. This event is specially for such work. The organisers define abstract cinema as the one “that doesn’t tell stories.”

When possible they organise screenings and festivals in other countries based on the winners of each festival. The 2009 winners were seen in Rome, Bangkok and will be in Vienna.

No matter how the movies or sequences were originated the festival needs the work on DVD in PAL format. Work should usually be less than 5 minutes long.

There is no entry fee. For forms and details see their website - click the Union Jack for the English text.
