Concurso CORTO IN ACCADEMIA de la Academia de Bellas Artes de Macerata

The Academy of Fine Arts in Macerata promotes the 6th edition of «CORTO IN ACCADEMIA», an international contest for independent short films.
The goal is to develop the potential of new languages through the collection of animation and/or video works, whose realization can be traced back to teaching and cultural activities of Italian and European Academies of Fine Arts.

In this edition, «Corto in Accademia» starts a new section of the competition called «OPEN CALL» addressed to all emerging video makers, under 35 years of age, authors of works of all nationalities and languages, provided that the works are in Italian/English or subtitled in Italian/English. This section will be paired with a specific theme each year. The title of theme chosen for this year is «THINK!», concerning the environmental protection and eco-sustainability. The works submitted for this section should include a message of strong emotional and ethical impact in poetic, narrative and/or documentary form, related to the indicated topic.

The 2020 edition of the competition will be held in Macerata at the Svoboda Auditorium of Macerata Fine Arts Academy; during the final evening on Thursday, 28th May 2020, a gala award ceremony will take place.
