(Re)Edit Competion 2024
For the nineth consecutive year, the Pesaro Film Festival promotes the first Italian competition for to video essays.
The term “video essays” designates a wide array of works that re-edit and remix cinematic images to interrogate their meaning in a critical and interpretative fashion. They represent a way to analyze cinema through cinema itself, thanks to the various digital editing software widely available nowadays. These are experiences that look at the past (the tradition of the experimental found footage cinema, that of documentary filmmaking, or the essay film) but are also influenced by the playful and hybrid practices of the present and the new forms of online cinephilia (mash-ups, re-cut trailers, supercuts).
To participate, please submit a video link (YouTube, Vimeo or another video sharing platform) no later than April 30, 2024 to: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. The link must be accompanied by a short presentation in the rules below.
A specialized jury will select the ten (10) most original and compelling videos, which will be featured on the Festival website and social media sites. The winning video essay will be individuated among the finalists and announced during the award ceremony.
