    11th International Film Festival

    19/4/2013 - 28/4/2013

    Call for entries for the International Competition Section “Glocal Images”

    Submission of films

    The Ministry of Education and Culture and the Rialto Theatre announce that Calls for Entries for the 11th CYPRUS FILM DAYS - International Film Festival 2013, are now open. The festival, which is being held for the 11th time this year, will host for the 3rd consecutive year a separate international competition section entitled “Glocal Images”, in which filmmakers from around the globe and Cyprus are invited to submit their fiction films. The films participating in the competition section will be selected by the festival’s artistic committee: Adonis Florides (Film director), Dr. Costas Constandinides (Academic) and Constantinos Sarkas (Journalist). This year’s festival will take place from the 19th to the 28th of April 2013 in Nicosia and in Limassol as in previous years.

    The showcasing of cinematic excellence and its relation with the Cypriot audience have been at the heart of Cyprus Film Days since its first edition in 2003. Therefore, the objective remains the same for the international competition section “Glocal Images” as well, since independent works are expected, framing the diversity of local cultures and presenting innovative approaches to subject matters that can be addressed to an international audience.

    The award of the films submitted to the competition section of this year’s festival will be assigned to an international Jury, whose names will be announced at a later date. The categories of the awards are the following:

    -       Best Film Award accompanied by the amount of €6,000

    -       Special Jury Award accompanied by the amount of €3,000

    -       Glocal Images Award accompanied by the amount of €1,000

    With the enhancement of the festival’s International Competition Section for fiction films for the 3rd consecutive year, an exciting celebration lies ahead, which continues to highlight the discovery of new talents and new stories from all over the world.

    Interested parties are called upon to submit an entry form by Friday, the 8th of February 2013.
