CALL FOR ENTRIES

 It's time to send a screener of your FEATURE FILM to the Taormina Film Fest 2008, taking place in Sicily from June 15 to 21, 2008.

Our deadline for submissions is MAY 9.

 We are now accepting films for selection in the most exciting summer festival in Europe, a boutique showcase for just 20 new films to be shown to our audiences and distributors from around the world.

Once again we will privilege world and international premières, divided into the following three sections: 

MEDITERRANEA:  Our Mediterranean competition – A selection of 7 films produced in the Mediterranean region will compete for the Golden Tauro for Best Film, which will be selected by the official jury. The award, which includes a cash prize, will be presented on stage at the Greek Theater on June 21 during the closing ceremony. Other prizes include best director, best performance and best technical work. 

BEYOND THE MEDITERRANEAN – A selection of 7 films produced in countries outside the Mediterranean region will be screened. These films will compete for the Audience Award and a cash prize.

 GRAND CINEMA in the Greek Theatre - Every evening a spectacular new film or event aimed at large audiences will be presented. To submit a film:

1. Download the Rules and Regulations and fill out the Pre-selection Entry form  or request them via e-mail to festival@taorminafilmfest.it

2. Send a screener (PAL, NTSC, SECAM) on DVD or video support to:               

                  Taormina Film Fest

                  Via degli Zingari, 11

                  00184 Rome                  Italy 

The films selected by the festival will be screened publicly twice, as well as for a select group of world film distributors and professionals invited to Taormina, who now know that 25% of last year's titles were subsequently selected to represent their countries in competing for an Oscar ® nomination in the Best Foreign Language category.
