Opgelet: het festival mikt op jonge filmmakers. Je was (of bent) 30 jaar of jonger tijdens het maken van je film om te mogen deelnemen.
Op zaterdag 14 augustus 2021 vormt Sphinx Cinema in Gent opnieuw het decor voor de vierde editie van ons kortfilmfestival. Wacht niet te lang en stuur jouw film in vóór 13 juni.
Sinds de start van het filmfestival in 2018 is CUT TO: GENT nooit gestopt met het verdedigen van haar belangrijkste richtlijn: jonge filmtalenten promoten en zien groeien.
Jaar na jaar gaat het team van programmatoren op zoek naar een opwindende selectie van beeldenmakers met een vrije artistieke expressie. Ongeacht het budget, de lengte, of het genre, het idee is om een eclectische selectie te maken met de beste korte films van regisseurs onder de 30 jaar.
Met drie spetterende programma's (National Shorts, International Shorts en Ghentian Shorts), een competitie en allerhande talks, biedt CUT TO: GENT een mooie staalkaart van de filmmakende jeugd, een artistieke verwennerij voor maker en liefhebber.
One Frame Movement - Caligari (feat. Cedric Van Overstraeten)
"Geweldig festival! Zeer goede communicatie en organisatie voor, tijdens en na het festival. Het Cut To: Gent-team is erg aardig en de filmzaal is net zo gezellig als mooi! Bovendien breng je een mooie avond door met andere jonge filmmakers en gaat iedereen met iets in de hand terug naar huis. Belle philosophie!"

Zijn er première vereisten?
Neen. In tegenstelling tot grote gevestigde festivals eisen wij geen première, maar we zouden het uiteraard heel fijn en eervol vinden om jouw film als eerste te mogen vertonen. Opgelet: wél willen we de garantie dat je film niet online beschikbaar staat!
Hoe oud moet ik zijn om deel te mogen nemen?
Ons festival mikt op jonge filmmakers. Om te mogen deelnemen was of ben je 30 jaar of jonger tijdens het maken van je film. Personen die zich niet aan deze regel houden worden helaas gediskwalificeerd.
Hou oud mag mijn film zijn?
In principe selecteren we enkel de kortfilms die afgewerkt zijn tussen september 2019 en augustus 2021. Is jouw film ouder maar nog nergens publiekelijk vertoond? Pas dan bij je inschrijving de afwerkingsdatum aan naar een later tijdstip.
Moet ik aanwezig zijn op het festival?
Ja. We zorgen dat alles veilig en comfortabel zal verlopen, voor de gezondheid van onze vrijwilligers, gasten en filmmakers. Je hoeft geen schrik te hebben. Bovendien wil ons cinema-minnende publiek jou beter leren kennen.
Zijn ondertitels verplicht?
Ja. Ondertiteling is een goede manier om je film toegankelijker te maken voor een breed publiek. Zelfs audiodiscriptie voor doven en slechthorenden wordt aanbevolen, maar is niet verplicht.
Welke genres en formaten van films worden er geselecteerd?
We maken geen enkel onderscheid tussen genres, formaten, technieken, stijlen, enz. We verwachten alleen maar een korte film van max. 35 min. en een interessante visie van jou als maker.
Krijgen filmmakers gratis tickets?
Ja! Jonge filmmakers (tot 30 jaar) mogen altijd gratis binnen. Vergeet zeker niet om jouw toegangspasje aan te vragen via maker@cuttogent.be. Is jouw film geselecteerd? Dan krijg je ook vijf gratis tickets om te verdelen in je cast & crew.
Hoe weet ik of mijn film geselecteerd is?
We laten je in de loop van juni/juli weten of je al dan niet geselecteerd bent om deel te nemen aan het festival 2021. Over deze beslissing wordt helaas geen feedback meer gegeven.
Wat valt er te winnen/verdienen?
Alle National Shorts maken kans op een award en 500 euro. Daarbovenop worden alle winnaars beloond met een streaming-contract van Sooner waarin de winst eerlijk wordt verdeeld. De ingang van dat contract bepaal jij zelf.
