The registration period begins today and ends on April 24, 2023
For the seventh year, FILMADRID, International Film Festival and MUBI, the global film distributor, streaming service and production company, will join forces with the unique and now powerfully established online section dedicated to the art of the video essay.
This space will be one of the pillars of the event, with a selection of some of the best works in the field which reflect on the evolution of this format and explore its different trends.
The selected titles will be released between 5th to 11th of June, 2023 for online audiences on MUBI’s film publication, Notebook. The selection will be made by the programmers of both teams. The registration period will remain open until April 24, 2023. Video essays must meet the requirement of never having been exhibited before, neither online nor in movie theatres. There is no duration limit per work and authors can include a text to accompany their video essay. The complete rules can be consulted here. All works must be registered through the form that can be found on the festival’s website.
In the last six editions, the call of The Video Essay received works from more than 30 countries, and authors such as Mark Rappaport, Catherine Norton, Philip Brubaker, Adrian Martin, Eva Elcano, and Jorge Negrete, among many others, have participated in it.
Remember that the page is updated every 15 minutes! You can copy the information for each field from a separate Word or PDF file.
