OPEN CALL
PULS!FILM//AWARD is a platform showcasing creative and innovative ideas in film. Present your work to a broad audience. Ensure to be seen and network with a like-minded community.
We are looking for young creatives and filmmakers from Austria, Bavaria and the Czech Republic to submit a short film on the subject of "dreams ≠reality", with max. 7 minutes.

DREAMS≠REALITY
For people from different countries or life situations, life dreams have always stood for the most varied of realities. While some dream of being able to afford a pool in the garden, others dream of what it would be like to end up with the smart waitress in their trusted bar. The dream of a better life will be shattered for a number of people who are eking out a miserable existence in unacceptable refugee camps. And the dream of global peace is turning into a nightmare...

WHAT ARE YOUR QUESTIONS?
Dream childhood, dream job, dream partner, dream house prosperity? Equal opportunity? Justice? Peace?! The dream of a better world!
The dream of eternal adventure, of happiness, of success! The dream of true love!
The dream of a dream life...

... Are you still dreaming or are you already living? What is your (night) dream?
Are you living your visions or are you already disillusioned with the global crises in the areas of climate, politics and social interaction?
Tell us your own story about dreams ≠reality in max. 7 minutes.

WHETHER SMARTPHONE OR CAMERA
Whether with your own smartphone or with the 4K camera - there are no limits to the creative and personal implementation. Except for one, temporal in the sense of the short film competition. The short film should not be longer than 7 minutes.

PULS!FILM// GALA
The ten best short films will be nominated and presented to a large audience at the PULS!FILM//GALA. The winners will receive the PULS!FILM//AWARD 2023 and many other amazing prizes.
The Gala will take place on 26. July 2023 at Messehalle Freistadt.
