Announcing our Summer Term Short Film, and Script Writing Competition!
This time we have multiple categories:
- ‘Open’ allows anything and everything, giving filmmakers the freedom and flexibility to create something unique!
- 'Silent Film' is a category that is open to both filmmakers, and scriptwriters who want to get creative with stage directions! We define a silent film as something that features no dialogue.
- 'Monologue' is a category open to both filmmakers and scriptwriters which emphasizes dialogue! Create a monologue that is 3-5 mins in length, on any topics, scenario or theme that you like!
Filmmakers can submit short films, 3-5 minutes in length, of any style, theme or genre. Scriptwriters should submit a scene, or collection of scenes that is four to five pages long, anonymously to our email account filmatjesus@gmail.com.
Outside of your specific subject, this is a wonderful opportunity to experiment with the film industry. And between the workload of the two terms, to essentially let loose. Get together with some friends – actors, musicians, camera crew – and let your creativity wander!
This competition is open to students at the University of Cambridge, Anglia Ruskin University, CATS Cambridge and alumni. And keep an eye out for regular prompts on our social media pages if you’re looking for inspiration.

The International Short Film Competition will be held for two days within the framework of Horrorcon Spain. This contest seeks to highlight the best works of the genre and provide a platform to emerging and established filmmakers.
Fiaticorti was born in 2000 from the idea of some members of Istrana’s “Youth Project”.
The event name was selected for two reasons: firstly, 'shortness of breath' (fiato corto) is the effect of physical effort of short duration (the same duration of short movies). Moreover, a film that can last up to 20 minutes is able to convey strong emotions to the viewer, leaving her or him 'out of breath'.
Initially, fiaticorti was condensed into a single evening, namely an awards night. However, from the 4th edition on, the format has been enhanced, and the festival develops over four stages, during which the best works are presented.
In 2006 the section FiatiVeneti was introduced, to reward short film-makers from the Veneto region.
2011 represented fiaticorti’s turning point. Not only did longtime artistic director Gianni Billio pass the baton to Bartolo Ayroldi Sagarriga (the new artistic director), Andrea Grespan and Simone Perotto, but the quality of the films in competition increased dramatically, together with the number of foreign participants, mainly from France, Great Britain, Romania and Spain. fiaticorti increasingly became an international event.
But the identity of the festival, connected to the Italian film club culture of the Seventies, has always remained the same. Its goal is that of transmitting culture and passion for short films. That’s why the artistic direction has chosen not to accompany the festival with events of other kinds.
Engativá is the third most populous locality in Bogotá; however, it is one of the least developed in terms of culture and cinema.

On November 29, 1974, the DINA arrested Carmen Bueno and Jorge Müller after the premiere of the film "A la sombra del sol". Ten years later, Chilean filmmakers organized to commemorate that day as Chilean Film Day, a date that was distorted with the arrival of democracy, since the large exhibition chains saw a business opportunity, relegating the true meaning of the date. From 2010 onwards, university attempts and the Museum of Memory began to retake the true meaning of the day of Chilean cinema, with almost the only venue being the Metropolitan region. 50 years after the civil-military coup d'état, the Municipality of Valparaíso decided to commemorate November 29 by showing the film "El Realismo Socialista" by Ruiz-Sarmiento, with photography by Jorge Müller.
This year 2024 marks 50 years since the disappearance of the filmmaker couple, the same year that the audiovisual table is created and in this sense, is that we seek to enhance from a regional processes of vindication of our historical memory, linking our audiovisual work to the community in our territories.
