premi:

The International Competition, also open to Italian works, has always been the heart of the festival and represents a wide-ranging look at new film and audiovisual productions.
For the first time, the prize for the best film, which amounts to 600€, brings together works of different genres and is aimed at short FICTION films, cinema of reality, narrative DOCUMENTARIES, and narrative ANIMATION shorts.

- ARCHIVE FILM AWARD max 30' 200 EURO
Always attentive to films made with archive material, this year the festival opens a new category to the works that best interpret archival material, both in totally archival films and in mixed form.

- EXPERIMENTAL AND ART FILMS AWARD max 30' 200 EURO
The section is dedicated to short experimental works of any genre, including non-narrative animation and art films, both independent and linked to contemporary art galleries. This section has been considered apart from the Best Film Award because of the specificity of language and structure that characterizes these works.

- FOCUS MIDDLE EASTERN CINEMA max 30' 150 EURO
In accordance with the bazaar theme, the international focus will be on the Middle Eastern cinema, with works from different countries and moments of in-depth analysis.
Works by directors from the Middle East, or by directors of any nationality but who deal with typically Middle Eastern issues or settings, will be considered.
Countries of reference: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Cyprus, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Syria, Turkey, Yemen.

- ULTRASHORT AWARD max 3' 100 EURO
The last category in competition is that of Ultrashort films, a category successfully launched last year that focuses on the freest experimentation, to which short films of less than three minutes will be destined.

- GRAN BAZàR AWARD. 100 EURO, by Albedo.
All the films arrived, in all the categories, have the further chance to participate in the Grand Bazàr Prize Selection: our attempt to give voice also to all works that, for various reasons, do not fall among those selected in the categories in competition, but that we believe deserve to be seen.
