entries are welcome for the Sixteenth Edition of ARCIPELAGO – International Festival of Short Films and New Images, which will be held in Rome from June 13 to 19, 2008.
Created by 3E-medi@, ARCIPELAGO is the most popular Italian event dedicated to new formats and new trends of international independent cinema.
The following are the competitive sections of the 2008 Edition:
– THE SHORT PLANET – International Short Films and New Images Competition. This new born section is the “synthesis” of the previous historical Festival competitions Short Waves and eMovie, but updated to an audiovisual panorama which has now fully included digital filmmaking among its languages. Films must not exceed 30 minutes. All works in video or film, of all genres – fiction, documentary, animation, experimental and music video -, are accepted, including films made using the most up-to-date digital technologies (a specific prize will be awarded).
– SHORT.WEB 8.0 – International Online Competition. Dedicated to short films exclusively conceived for diffusion on the Internet or however compatible with a Web distribution. The competition will be held exclusively online, on Fastweb.it web portal, and it’s reserved to works of all genres, up to 15 minutes long.
– CON/CORTO – National Short Films Competition. Reserved to unreleased short films up to 30 minutes, on video or film, either fiction or documentary or animation or experimental or music video.
– EXTRA LARGE – National Documentaries Competition. Reserved to Italian documentaries between 30 and 60 minutes, either on video or film.
– VIDEO/ROME – Regional Video Competition. 5 minutes on video on a specific theme – organized in collaboration with Mediateca Roma and the Lazio Region’s Council of Culture, Entertainment and Sport.
As in past editions, the ITINERARIES section will present the best of the “short” Italian production screened at last year’s festivals.
