Art, creativity, innovation, sustainability, development and social cohesion, reconstruction and resilience: Italy at the center of the debate on how to build a new way of living together.
To accompany the preparation of the 2019 Annual Meeting in Fabriano, Rome City of Film, UNESCO Creative City of Film, decided to launch an international call for fiction and documentary short films (under 30′), addressed to directors and film schools.
The theme of the films will be the demand for an ideal contemporary city, narrated by means of cinema or television through one of eight sub-themes:
- the sustainable city
- the cosmopolitan city
- the ubiquitous multiple city
- the city of citizens
- the city of knowledge
- the city as a stage
- the city that creates
- the enterprising city
The call will be disseminated by the 13 cities of the UCCN Film cluster and the usual cinema channels of. Works from every country in the world are eligible to participate, even if they are not from one of the 72 countries that form the UCCN network.
A selection committee, directed by Mario Sesti (Fondazione Cinema per Roma) and composed of film experts, city planners and representatives of the Italian Coordination of the UCCN, along with the focal point of Fabriano and the Fabriano Film Fest, will select the six best works (three per genre), two of which will win awards, one for each genre.
The six best films will be screened in the pavilion of the Film cluster in Fabriano and the two winning works will be presented and screened during the 2019 Annual Meeting for the UCCN delegates as a collateral event, attended by the directors and actors who will talk about their experience.
