Short Film Competition
We accept shorts of lengths, styles and genres, including documentary shorts and animated films. Films can also be shot in any format or media as long as the submitted format is on DVD, in which we ultimately screen from. We try to put as few limits on the filmmakers as possible. Films shot by locals or shot around Venice is a plus, but not required.
Feature Film Competition
We are looking for dynamic, entertaining, creative, and unique features of any style and genre. Films shot in Venice or by locals is a plus, but not a requirement.
Experimental Short Section
We are looking for non-narrative or Avant Garde short films. These films can be any type of cinema, including new and old media, or fine art. We show local, as well as international experimental films.
Music Video Competition
This film section is one of the most exciting during our festival. The theater is always packed and the event features a live performance by a local band. An Abbot Award is also given to the Music Video with the most audience member votes.
Youth Filmmaker Section (18 and under)
We screen films made by kids age 18 and under. In the past we selected films that will also play for other kids. Before the screenings, we have live performances and circus clowns to entertain the youth audience and their parents. Classes can also make films together as well as family units. Very flexible section!
