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.

aspiring artists will be invited to address the question of “Who’s afraid of the Big Bad Crises?”.

are facing difficult situations which confront us to the different faces
of crisis. But how do we define crises and what are we afraid of? Can
crises serve as opportunities?
