With its more than 50-year long tradition, the film festival of Szolnok has been named after the world-famous Hungarian-born artist and Oscar-winning production designer, Alexandre Trauner in 2018 to salute to the work of production designers.
Our festival advertises submission in three categories however we welcome submissions on FilmFreeway in two categories. In the European Feature Film Section, the jury remunerates the production design of the films and production designers. Every other year we provide international competition for fine art films and films of university students.
Between 13-18 October 2020 we are looking forward to welcome production and costume designers, fine artists, filmmakers, film professionals and university students majoring in film studies, media and communication, fine art or production design with a wide range of programs: film screenings, masterclasses held by international film masters, fine art exhibitions, round table discussions and concerts in the evening.
We expect film submissions in the following categories:
1. Fine art film competition:
In the category of fine art, we are looking for the introduction of works from January 1, 2018, which are intended to present (re) interpretation of fine works of art by means of film, and the life stages of one or more artists (art groups). In this category we accept films that reveal certain trends, periods and social contexts of fine art. Last but not least, we are waiting for movies that are made using some of the tools of fine arts (eg. experimental and animated films).
2. Competition of university students’ films:
In this section we invite films made after 1 January 2018 of university students (under the age of 30) taking part in film, media or art studies. There is no restriction is genre however the maximum length of the films shall not be more than 25 minutes.
