Terre da Film Festival - Open Call 2023

Terre da Film is a place where people meet up to live an experience through cinema, art and more. Every summer artists, filmmakers, poets, students, tourists and locals live for a few days in the town of Canelli to create a unique temporary community.

Next edition will be during the first two weekends of July. We are looking for films for our screens and people to meet.

In 2023 Edition Terre da Film will focus on the theme of THOUGHTS ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT.

How does a living being dwell and influence its own environment? How does an environment influence beings/organisms by which it is constituted of?

“Every subject spins out, like the spider's threads, its relations to certain qualities of things and weaves them into a solid web, which carries its existence.” Jakob Johann von Uexküll.

We are looking for movies showing this continuous interdependence between organisms/individuals and their own environment.

Considering this aim, we expect projects pointing out these wrong dichotomies and how to tear them down:

Individual/Environment
Subject/Object
Inside/Outside
Dwell/Build
Understand/Act
Create/Destroy
Human/Animal
…

We select short films of fiction, animation, documentary, experimental and more, with a maximum running time of 30 minutes.
