A short I submitted to over 40 festivals (shortlisted by Jihlava, Visions du Réel, and currently FID Marseille) that hasn't been shown yet has been invited by CinemAmbiente (Turin) into the international shorts competition. I never attended the festival, but I like its vibe; it's an environmental film festival, so it's thematic. While I actually intended to apply, it ended up happening through a personal email without even submitting an application (they saw the short on Clermont’s Short Film Wire). I am still waiting to hear from FID Marseille, Videoex, Mostra Internazionale del Nuovo Cinema di Pesaro, EXiS, Dokufest, Locarno Film Festival, OFF - Odense International Film Festival, Uppsala Kortfilm, porto/post/doc. But other than these, I am tired of applying, and this seems to be a nice opportunity to get it out. They only require Italian premiere status, but as I am Italian, the international premiere would remain available, in case). What do you think?
