>Be: absurd. Again. V4
>>We believe independent film-making is the future of film-making. We need you to prove it.
The 4th ABSURDAH international film festival will be happening on one evening at the Criterion Music Hall Theatre in Blue Town — the new home of art house films. We are open to all international films that don't fit in, don't want to fit in, or just can't be categorised to fit in to the norms expected of so many conservative festivals (you know who you are). Only the Finalists are shown in the evening.
Every selected submission will be eligible for “the adsurdah awards” presented in the evening of the festival.
The film-makers and cinephiles will experience an eventful evening on the 5th April 2025.
This year we are looking for fictions, animation, video arts, short films and very short films. Finalists and winners will be shown in the evening all will be eligible for “the adsurdah awards”.
>Be: absurdah.
Every selected submission will be eligible for “the adsurdah awards” which will be presented in the evening of the festival. There will be an international jury made up of international artists, designers and film-makers dedicated to each particular absurdist award.
Films can have been made yesterday, last month or upto 20 years ago.
There will be 36 finalists.
The 12 awards are: Best in festival, Best film (10-30 minutes), Best short film (under 10 minutes), Best animation (10-30 minutes), Best very short film (1 minute), Best Poetry film, Best director, Best student absurd, Best camera, Best music/sound, Best film poster and finally, Best adsurdist.
First places will receive an ABSURDAH award, this is a limited edition physical award not some generic monstrosity from an awards manufacturer. If the recipient is not at the awards ceremony the award will be posted to the winner (if they want it) at their own cost.
