Entries are now open for the fourth edition of the Z-PITCH Contest.
The initiative – promoted by NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti and Fondazione Cinema per Roma – aims to bring the ideas of young authors and filmmakers to the attention of film and television professionals: the Z-PITCH Contest is in fact aimed at current and recently graduated students of Film and Media Design Schools in Italy.
Also for the fourth edition, the contest, developed within the activities of Rome City of Film UNESCO, confirms the expansion to English-language projects to widen participation to international students attending English-language courses in Film Schools and Academies in Italy.
Registration for Z-PITCH is free of charge and will be open until Friday, 28 February, 2025 (by 6pm). The eight finalist projects, selected by a committee made of lecturers and industry professionals, will be announced by the end of March 2025.
A jury appointed jointly by NABA and Fondazione Cinema per Roma will assign the two final awards: Best Pitch and Best Project. For the first time in the contest, special attention will be given to animation projects, a category for which an additional, specific prize will be awarded, marking a significant new feature for this edition.
