You are not submitting a film. You are submitting a screenplay.

The EvokeStory.ai International Screenplay Fund is an international screenplay competition built on one idea: a writer should not have to write in a borrowed language to be read.

Most international competitions ask for English. That single requirement filters out thousands of writers before a page is read, not for the quality of their story but for the cost of a translation. We removed that filter.

WRITE IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE

Entries are accepted in seven languages, each competing on equal footing: Turkish, English, Arabic, French, Spanish, German and Portuguese. Your screenplay is read and judged in the language you wrote it in, against entries in that same language only. Arabic is read in its own right-to-left [...]

International Festival

Short film festival

Curto Criativo, the award for short film screenplays, is a Brazil-based competition open to screenwriters worldwide, from beginners to experienced professionals. We evaluate the story, not the production, so your script is welcome whether the short film has been shot or not. Our jury, composed of experienced screenwriters and filmmakers, is looking to discover new voices in the industry.

We accept short film scripts across seven genres: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Experimental, Fantasy/Science Fiction, Children's/Youth Live Action, and Suspense/Horror. Screenwriters worldwide can also enter the Best International Screenplay category, with scripts accepted in English or Spanish.

Winners are announced at an in-person awards ceremony at the Museum of Image and Sound (MIS-SP), in São Paulo.

Feature film festival

In recent decades, and at one time to the emergence of new technologies that have ended up scanning most of the processes of the film, the documentary has known a notorious and systematic growth around the world. In our country, and for more than one decade, a production before linked almost exclusively to fiction has been swelling their ranks with new topics, new approaches, new geographies, new dilemmas.

It is in this context that FIDBA is proposed as the 1st. International Film Festival dedicated to this genre which films with the same fans - as long as we believe that the forms and the doings of the documentary film are different from those of the fiction - may meet and dialogue among them and with the public. If the documentary is a meeting point for the FIDBA, it is [...]
