If you’re under 20, glued to your phone, have one (or more) great ideas and you’re passionate about filmmaking, Cinemira’s Video Contest is for you. Create a film of up to 1.5 minutes, and show us what you’ve got!
Every participant will receive feedback from our professional jury. Winning films will be screened at Cinemira International Kids’ and Youth Film Festival on October 19th at Cinema City Mammut. In addition to the screening, creators of the best films will be gifted exciting film-related prizes (free camera and drone rental, Cinema City VIP tickets, cinema tickets for two, concert tickets, the latest LEGO sets and LUSH gift packages).
You can submit your films in three categories:
1. Freedom – What does freedom mean to you? Let your imagination soar high!
2. Music Video – Show us the emotions your favorite music brings out in you!
3. Poetry Film – Bring your favorite poem to life – or write your own and turn it into a film!
Participants may choose from poetry collections recommended by our partners, Pagony Publishing and Magvető Publishing – they may also freely select poems from other books, or even submit their own.
You can enter solo or as a team, with multiple films and in more than one category!
The films will be evaluated by a professional jury: Péter Puskás-Dallos – singer, actor, television presenter; Jázmin Hollósi – digital content creator; Izabella Mazzag – director; Benedek Lampert – photographer; Virág Erdős – poet; Hanna Győri – editor, Pagony Publishing.
