Минский международный фестиваль короткометражных фильмов «Киносмена» – ежегодное культурное событие Республики Беларусь. Фестиваль проходит под патронажем белорусского союза кинематографистов и одобрен министерством культуры Республики Беларусь.
Организаторы приглашают режиссеров и представителей фильмов и обеспечивают им бесплатное проживание в комфортабельной гостинице г. Минска на время проведения фестиваля.
В конкурсную программу отбирается 30 лучших из нескольких тысяч присылаемых на фестиваль премьер короткометражных фильмов со всего мира.
Фестиваль представляет работы отечественных и зарубежных кинематографистов, отобранных членами жюри, как лучшие, и вместе со зрителями выбирает победителя. Также предусматривается внеконкурсная программа из фильмов, не вошедших в основной конкурс, но представляющих интерес для зрителей.
Фестиваль проходит в сети кинотеатров "Silver Screen" города Минска и параллельно в 10-ти городах Беларуси.
The Minsk International Short Film Festival "Kinosmena" is an annual cultural event of the Republic of Belarus. The festival is supported by the Belarusian Union of cinematographers and approved by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Belarus.
The organizers invite film directors and representatives of the films and provide them with free accommodation in a comfortable hotel in Minsk for the duration of the festival.
From several thousands of short films that sent to us from all over the world, 30 best films are selected in the contest program of the festival. The festival is supported by the Belarusian Union of cinematographers and approved by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Belarus.
The festival will present the works of national and foreign filmmakers, selected by the jury as the best, and then together with the audience will choose the winners. There is also a non-contest program of films that are not included in the main contest program, but they are of interest to the audience. The festival will be held in the cinema chain "Silver Screen" in Minsk and 10 other cities of Belarus.
As most filmmakers will tell you, being involved with making a film means; countless hours of hard work, stress, dedication, discipline, lack of sleep, lots of smiles, lots of tears, ridiculous amounts of coffee consumed, new bonds forged, and not to mention all those hours spent away from family and friends. So what’s the point of going through it all if no-one ever gets to see your work of art? Could you imagine if Leonardo Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa, and just hung it in his bedroom? Your work of art NEEDS to be seen, admired and help to inspire.
'The Next Level International Film Festival’ (TNLIFF) was inspired by filmmakers for filmmakers to encourage and help push filmmakers to their full potential. 'The Next Level’ is a platform for emerging artists to show the world what they are capable of, not just locally or nationally, but INTERNATIONALLY!
As this is the first year that the festival is running, we would like to offer a special ‘Grand Opening’ invitation to the event, meaning that the event will be FREE to all those who wish to attend as ‘General Admission’. That’s right it’s a FREE festival. So the money you save on a ticket, can be spent on the amazing food and drinks that are on offer. Other ticket options will become available closer to the screening night, including special food and beverage packages and reserved seating.
Every year we are inspiring to hold the festival at a different location. In 2018 the festival will kick off the ‘Wine Festival Month’, and be held amongst the vineyards with a beautiful mountain backdrop, at the prestigious ‘Mudgee Wines’ located on Henry Lawson Drive in Mudgee NSW.
