CMFF - Calabria Movie International Film Festival
Crotone, Italy
!!!!500€ CASH PRIZE!!!!
The Calabria Movie - International Short Film Festival (CMFF) was born from the idea of creating a meeting point for film fans and authors who want to discuss the importance and changes of the seventh art. The desire is to reunite the authors and representatives of Italian cinema in a regional festival to preserve and make known the tipical cinema of the territory, maintaining interest for international cinema.
It is not just a film festival, it is an opportunity to give space to art in general and to create spaces for discussion and comparison.
CMFF has decided to create a special section with films that tell the theme of "Return". There will be a special prize from the Jury for the short film that will tell, describe and explain the theme of "Return" in the best way. The idea was born from the desire to narrate that feeling of migration and continuous search of home that is often protagonist in a difficult territory like the Calabrian and which is linked to classical culture and the western world. For the Greeks, the nòstoi, in fact, are the journeys to return home after a long and tearing experience. But the return can also be the arrival point of a journey within oneself, or the result of unique experiences, an infinite series of vicissitudes capable of marking and transforming the protagonist in the depths of the soul. Starting from the more classic meaning of "Return", it is required to experiment and tell the topic from every possible point of view.
