It is reminded that in μicro, directors with up to 3 films (directed) have the exclusive right to submit.
The aim of the Festival is to highlight the work of experienced as well as emerging filmmakers and to contributes to the film production internationally. The programming and interest of the Festival focus on documentary films that deal with historical events and personalities, with socio-political issues, contemporary or not, with the promotion of human rights and in general with any cross-border core of reflection that depicts the concerns of contemporary cinematography, in any form. The call concerns films that have been released within the last three years (2022-2024).
