The Film Sharing Festival is an unique, alternative, independent film festival with a programme and open screenings. All entries, under the stipulated 15 minutes, will be screened providing an opportunity for the interested public beyond the internet.
The festival accepts narrative short and documentary films. The manner of development can be various: we like accurately planned films, spontaneously done projects, exercices and inventive products which came into being by accident. Filmmakers who are not willing to fix their creativity into a kind of commercial frame are invited to share their work with the festival audience. Originality of narration or progress are the crucial factors of evaluation. The festival accepts super short films under 3min and short films 3-15min.
