In June 2011 the Balkans Beyond Borders Short Film Festival
travels to Athens, where the headquarters of the eponymous NGO
organising the festival is based. This year, similar to last year, young
artists from the Balkan region and beyond (Southeast Europe) up to the
age of 30 are invited to create their own short films on a pre-defined
subject. Entries are accepted from the 1st of November 2010 until the 31st of March 2011.
This year’s edition will tackle the topical subject of crises, and
aspiring artists will be invited to address the question of “Who’s afraid of the Big Bad Crises?”.

of crisis. But how do we define crises and what are we afraid of? Can
crises serve as opportunities?

The WVFF focuses on creating a communal atmosphere between the makers, students, and audiences of their films. We make our filmmakers our top priority by encouraging feedback, networking and workshops among the filmmakers. Filmmakers should leave our weekend with a myriad of new friends and collaborators
