Your Culture - Our Culture!?
AMiK - Our Culture Short Film Festival

Please read application rules carefully.

Themes are free, but we welcome entries that include the artist's view of the world today, and their immediate and wider environment. We specifically welcome films that reflect on the events of the last 2-3 years (e.g.: pandemic, wars, economic crises, etc.).

What topics shall I focus on?

Your interpretation of culture, your values of everyday life (e.g.: school, partying, hobbies, friends), your vision of the future, your visualization of the challenges in life.
Show in your film what concept of VALUE means to you.

Is there a prize for films with a special theme?

Films with a Budapest theme will receive a special prize.
Please show in your film how you see Budapest's cultural life, the big city’s community spaces (e.g.: theatres, concerts, exhibitions), its unique architecture, vibrant nightlife, and the VALUES of Budapest in general.

Hand in your application – either individually or as a team,
