Cinematheque．Passion hosts the highly anticipated showcase of local works “Macao Films Panorama 2019” from 17 to 31 May 2019. Different sessions of the film festival investigate different approaches to filmmaking from Macao, mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and showcased works include features and shorts. One of the sessions is the delightful and quirky competition “Comedy Shorts Panorama”. Creatives from around the world can participate with a comedy short film of up to five minutes. Ten best works will be selected for screening at the opening of “Macao Films Panorama 2019”, and the most outstanding piece among the ten best will win the “eye-opener” prize: two film tickets for the Taipei Film Festival, return tickets between Macao and Taipei, two-night accommodation and an expense fee of MOP$3,000.
Apart from being a comedy, the entry work is required to include an element that is drawn randomly in advance. Each entrant must draw an element randomly when submitting their application form in person, and include the element in their works. For those who submit their application via email, the element will be drawn and sentto the entrants by the Cinematheque.
Ten best works will be selected for screening at the opening of “Macao Films Panorama 2019”. On the day of the screenings, a public polling for the most popular shorts will be arranged, and a fabulous prize will go to the winner. The most outstanding piece of the ten will be known and awarded on that day.
Application is open now. Those interested should visit www.cinematheque-passion.mo, download the application form and study the terms and conditions carefully. Please submit the form in person and draw an element for entry. For those who can only submit their applications online, the Cinematheque will draw the element on the entrants’ behalf and inform them of the results. All entry works must be submitted by 5pm on 23 April 2019. Selection will be the responsibility of veteran filmmakers and the Cinematheque. All entrants will be informed of the results via email and by phone.
