call: Lateral Film Festival Cosenza
Deadline: 31 March 2018
Call for entries
Laterale Film Festival
LATERALE FILM FESTIVAL is an international non competitive Film Festival of cinematic art organized by Associazione Culturale Kamen. The aim of the project is to enhance the most innovative aspects of audio-visual languages of the contemporary world and to reduce the distance between artistic research and public involvement. Particular attention will be paid to young and independent filmmakers and to self-made no-budget works, as result of their own individual search. The second edition of LATERALE FILM FESTIVAL will take place in Cosenza (Southern Italy) at Cinema San Nicola from June 11th to 13th 2018. The Festival promotes a free and stimulating common ground of sharing, that shows what usually is neglected or rejected, result of the distance from the conventional way to do and to interpret the Cinema. A space that breaks down barriers and preconceived notions, type-approval and standardisation, a space that looks forward to developing into an artistic laboratory where you can choose now the Cinema of the future.
