As the biggest Bulgarian forum dedicated to support the creation of student short films the Quarantine Edition of the Festival is provoking the young filmmakers to think „out of the box”, to use all kind of shooting techniques and means, to stay curious and resourceful behind the closed doors of their homes, to collaborate online.

For more than 15 years one of the Festival’s main goal is to provide the audience an opportunity to meet closely with art and aesthetics of young filmmakers.

Bucharest International Dance Film Festival deschide inscrierile pentru cea de-a sasea editie, care se va desfasura in septembrie

Unica manifestare cinematografica din Romania dedicata filmelor de dans, Bucharest International Dance Film Festival, a lansat inscrierile incepand cu 4 mai 2020. Aplicatiile se pot trimite pana pe 31 mai (Early bird), 14 iunie (Regular), respectiv 5 iulie (Late).

Editia din acest an a BIDFF propune utopia/distopia ca instrument de reflectie asupra viitorului si filmul scurt de dans ca mediu de expresie. Printr-o coincidenta, in contextul pandemiei mondiale, utopia si distopia, temele festivalului in 2020, devin strategii creative sau critice de a privi si explora lumea prezenta sau viitoare. Viziunea curatoriala a BIDFF isi propune sa descifreze, modeleze, transforme sau revolutioneze aceste concepte.

BIDFF recunoaste excelenta, noutatea si discursul artistic curajos, si ofera premii in valoare de 2000 de Euro pentru Cel mai bun film international, Cel mai bun film romanesc si Cel mai bun musical.

Regizorii, coregrafii, artistii vizuali, animatorii si muzicienii sunt invitati sa-si inscrie scurtmetrajele pentru noua editie a festivalului, care va cuprinde atat cele doua sectiuni competitionale dedicate scurtmetrajelor de dans (competitia internationala si competitia romaneasca), precum si sectiunea introdusa anul trecut a musicalurilor.

Creatorii de animatii, filme de fictiune, experimentale sau documentare sunt sprijiniti sa se inscrie cu filme scurte care au subiecte legate de tema festivalului.

Organizatorii isi propun ca filmele si evenimentele programate in timpul festivalului sa se inscrie in linia inovatiei si a experimentului artistic, care nu doar dizolva granitele dintre genuri dar ofera in acelasi timp variante de intelegere a unui viitor posibil/probabil. Acestea sunt baze si premise utile pentru a descoperi directiile posibile inspre care se poate indrepta viitorul. Publicul este invitat sa priveasca filmul de dans ca un sistem deschis, o forma de arta concentrata pe proces si progres.

BIDFF isi propune in 2020 un program care sa includa proiectii speciale, conferinte, ateliere care exploreaza teoretic si practic utopia/distopia, prin intermediul filmului de fictiune, artei video, animatiei, musicalului si documentarului.

In competitia de scurtmetraje vor fi luate in considerare filmele cu durata de maximum 20 de minute, in genul film de dans (fictiune, animatie, experiment vizual, documentar) si musicaluri scurte cu durata de maximum 20 de minute, toate produse in ultimii 2 ani, cu o calitate minima Full HD (1920 x 1080).

Nu vor participa in concurs videoclipurile muzicale, trailerele sau inregistrarile unor spectacole sau filme care au fost deja inscrise in editiile anterioare ale festivalului, filme de 1 minut sau reclame la diverse brand-uri.

Aplicantii vor primi raspuns referitor la selectia filmului inscris pana pe 1 august 2020, iar fiecare regizor poate inscrie maximum 2 filme in competitie. Inscrierea filmelor se face prin intermediul platformei Film Freeway https://filmfreeway.com/bidff2020 si inainte de aplicare este necesara verificarea taxelor aferente fiecarui deadline.

Cea de-a sasea editie a festivalului se va desfasura respectand regulile si restrictiile impuse de autoritati in contextul evolutiei pandemiei de coronavirus, pentru siguranta tuturor participantilor si a echipei de organizare.
