ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
The call is open to movies produced and shot in any video format, regardless of the genre and nationality, and completed after January 1st, 2021.
Works already distributed in Italian theatres will be excluded, as well as works already released in Italy on streaming platforms. National Previews will be prioritized.
Competition categories:
1) CONCORSO LACENO D’ORO 47: full-length and medium-lenght films, both fictional and documentaries, with a running-time over 30 minutes.
Works which will stand out for their experimental and fresh approach will be taken into further consideration.
2) Short-movies competition “Gli occhi sulla città”: short-films not exceeding 30 minutes, including credits.
Each work will have to stand out for the way they deal with issues related to urban spaces, to the environment and to the landscape. This topic can be explored with the outmost freedom. Each work, however, will have to ponder how moviemaking can tell, depict, or even “predict” the changes of urban spaces and contemporary landscapes. All authors will deal with this topic in their own creative and original way.
