New York's Beneath the Earth Film Festival is a year-long search for independent films that serves as a catalyst for outstanding projects to reach a global audience. Four seasonal competitions are held throughout the year during which work of high production quality, clever writing and strong performances are offered the chance to be reviewed by authorities in the film world. The winners of each season then go on to compete for the culminating grand prize. All winners will receive recognition and exposure as well as a monetary prize.

 

Parody 48 Hour Film Contest is exactly what you’d think it is! Participating teams get 48 hours to watch their assigned film, come up with a parody script, cast it, shoot it, edit it, lay down a soundtrack, and get us the final version on DVD!

 

Winning films will receive bragging rights and an awesome prize package donated by Sony Creative Software!!

 

Hundreds of short film from all the continents, famous guests, meeting to study in deep interesting matters related to the short film or to the theme of that edition, big audience.

These are the elements of the Reggio Film Festival, a winning formula that is renewed year after year, an important appointment for Reggio Emilia but well known even out of our region borders.

The main target of this festival is to inspire interest and appreciation for the operas of filmmakers that send their short film from every part of the world, and at the same time to create occasions for cultural investigations that develop the cinematographic learning and the theme of the year.

So starting from the 1rst edition the Reggio Film Festival is distinguished every year by the choice of a theme, a topic that is examined and developed using different languages, so not only by the point of view of the short films but also through music, plays, words and other artistic expressions.
