The KIDS’ REEL Short Film Competition (the European Children’s Film Association prize) seeks to highlight quality European children’s films that use the cinematic medium in an eloquent and considerate way to convey themes relevant to children. Entries must be suitable for audiences up to 7 years of age.<\/p>\n
The KIDS’ REEL Short Film Competition programme includes no less than 8 and no more than 12 short films with a maximum running time of 30 minutes for which the majority of production financing has been sourced in a European Union or European Economic Area member country, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland.<\/p>\n
The submitted films have to have been completed no earlier than 30 June 2020, and their Latvian premiere must take place during RIGA IFF. There is one exception to this rule \u2013 although it is preferable that Latvian films premiere at RIGA IFF, this is not a requirement.<\/p>\n
The selected titles are judged by an international jury consisting of at least 3 film professionals that are members of the European Children’s Film Association (ECFA). The winning film will be eligible for the ECFA Short Film Award, voted on by all ECFA members and presented during the Berlinale each February. The RIGA IFF Award Ceremony takes place on the second Saturday of the festival.<\/p>\n
The call for submissions opens on 22 March and closes on 30 June. The submission fee is EUR 10 per entry and all submissions are free of charge for the first month, until 22 April. The results will be announced by 10 September 2022.<\/p>\n","custom_button_text":"","custom_button_url":"","submit_your_film":"","submit_your_film_disabled":true,"terms_&_conditions_pdf":"http:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/RIGA-IFF-2022-Kids-Reel-Short-Film-Competition-Regulations-English.pdf","terms_&_conditions_pdf_disabled":false,"supporter":[{"supporter_select":{"ID":23916,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2021-10-28 12:29:58","post_date_gmt":"2021-10-28 09:29:58","post_content":"","post_title":"ECFA","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ecfa","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-10-28 12:29:58","post_modified_gmt":"2021-10-28 09:29:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/?post_type=supporters&p=23916","menu_order":0,"post_type":"supporters","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw","post_title_ml":"[:en]ECFA[:]","post_title_langs":{"en":true},"acf":{"logo":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ECFA-Black-logo-1.svg","url":"https:\/\/www.ecfaweb.org"}},"width_(px)":"120"}],"supporter_for_children":null,"supporter_for_children_title":null,"jury_title":"","jury":false,"participants_title":"","participants":false,"screening_as_programme_child":false,"films_category_title":"","films_category":427,"films_category_2":false,"screening_select":false,"additional_films_title":"","show_films_seperately":false,"logo_on_image_text":"","logo_on_image_image":false,"logo_on_image_color":"default","tba":"","link":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/en\/programme-2022\/kids-reel\/short-film-competition\/","parent":24352,"parent_title":"KIDS’ REEL","parent_link":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/en\/programme-2022\/kids-reel\/","screenings_merged":[{"month":"october","date":"15","end_date":"","time":"11:00","time_end":"","venue_url_languages":[{"type":"buy","sold_out":false,"closed":false,"free":false,"soon":false,"invitation_only":false,"accreditations_only":false,"guest_accreditations_only":false,"guest_notice_with_icon":"Relaxed Screening","venue":"splz","url":"","bilesu_servisa_id":"367386","custom_tickets_url":"","apply_url":"","subtitle_language":[],"closed_captions_language":[],"audio_description_language":[],"audio_language":[]}],"event_post_title":"KIDS’ REEL Animated Short Film Selection","event_post_url":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/en\/programme-2022\/kids-reel\/short-film-competition\/","event_parent_details":[]},{"month":"october","date":"15","end_date":"","time":"11:00","time_end":"","venue_url_languages":[{"type":"buy","sold_out":false,"closed":false,"free":false,"soon":false,"invitation_only":false,"accreditations_only":false,"guest_accreditations_only":false,"guest_notice_with_icon":"","venue":"online","url":"","bilesu_servisa_id":"367664","custom_tickets_url":"","apply_url":"","subtitle_language":[],"closed_captions_language":[],"audio_description_language":[],"audio_language":[]}],"event_post_title":"KIDS’ REEL Animated Short Film Selection","event_post_url":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/en\/programme-2022\/kids-reel\/short-film-competition\/","event_parent_details":[]},{"month":"october","date":"23","end_date":"","time":"11:00","time_end":"","venue_url_languages":[{"type":"buy","sold_out":false,"closed":false,"free":false,"soon":false,"invitation_only":false,"accreditations_only":false,"guest_accreditations_only":false,"guest_notice_with_icon":"","venue":"citadele2","url":"","bilesu_servisa_id":"368049","custom_tickets_url":"","apply_url":"","subtitle_language":[],"closed_captions_language":[],"audio_description_language":[],"audio_language":[]}],"event_post_title":"KIDS’ REEL Animated Short Film Selection","event_post_url":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/en\/programme-2022\/kids-reel\/short-film-competition\/","event_parent_details":[]}],"events_select":false,"enabled_after_content":true,"title_after_content":"","content_after_content":"","button_text_after_content":"","button_url_after_content":"","runtime":""}
