Midsummer has past and it’s time for July’s Deadline List!
‘Our festival exhibits absolute enthusiasm for short films.‘ This is what Roma Creative Contest – Short Film Festival had to say in our interview with them. With a mandate to show the most innovative short films and a crew made up of only under-30’s, it’s a young and 100% forward-thinking fest!
Also big this month is THESS International Short Film Festival, a Greek festival devoted to ‘pure cinema’ and with a passionate cinephile audience to boot! Watch out too for the Ploiesti International Film Festival Late Deadline, one of Romania’s top film fests.
And if that’s not enough, there’s also deadlines upcoming at festivals like Szczecin European Film Festival, Zagreb Film Festival, TOHorror Film Fest and BIAFF – Batumi International Art-house Film Festival…
