Childhood is a universal theme that filmmakers return to, again and again,
to connect
audiences to memories of the forces that shape human lives in the
earliest years.
The aim of UIFF is to curate the best world cinema narratives of childhood,
especially from younger artists, though submissions are accepted from
filmmakers of any age.
UIFF will be presented in Florence, Italy through a mixture of live socially
distanced
screening programmes at Cinema La Compagnia and virtual screenings
streamed on
demand on MyMovies.it. Public dialogue between cinema artists, UNICEF
experts and
the public will be organized after all screening programmes.
CALL FOR ENTRIES
Films to be selected for the festival will
promote deep reflection on the experiences
that shape childhood – within the individual, in the family,
the community, in institutions and
societies, of both the Global South and North. Emphasis will
be placed on films that
authentically represent the thoughts, voices and experiences of
children themselves.
Submissions are now open via Film Freeway until 15 July 2021.
The final selection will be announced in August. Films will be
programmed in three categories:
- Childhood in the pandemic
- Under 18
- Open category
