SHORT FILM "DREAM LIFE" - Call Open

Entry fees No entry fee

As part of its New Narratives program, the Atmosphères Festival organizes writing competitions and an international short film competition each year, both dedicated to the themes of sustainable development.

The aim of these competitions is to foster creativity and innovation through the emergence of new narratives. These new narratives are encouraged by these writing competitions, which are open to everyone and free of charge.

The theme of the competition is "The Dream Life."
The short films must address the environmental, social, and economic themes of sustainable development. The film's subject, its protagonist(s), or its main context must relate to, or be closely linked to, one of the themes of sustainable development and, more broadly, address the challenges of the ecological and social transition.
