Call for entries

We are glad to announce that the 7^th Worldfilm festival will be held in Tartu, Estonia, on March 22nd–28th, 2010!

Worldfilm is a documentary film festival, developing interest towards anthropological, analytical approach to cultures and societies. We welcome film entries from all over the world. Especially the independent filmmakers who are not part of mainstream commercial filmmaking are encouraged to submit their works. We also encourage submitting student films.

Each year, the festival becomes a lively community of filmmakers and the audience. We invite authors of the submitted films to be present at our festival in order to introduce their films and discuss their works after the screening. If sufficient funding becomes available, the festival can partly cover the travel costs and/or the accommodation. 

The event is open to everybody, including creative, curious and knowledgeable filmmakers, scholars, students and all the others, who care about the world around them and love the films bringing this world closer to them.

About 50 films will be screened during the festival week.  In addition to the film program, the festival presents round tables, workshops, exhibitions and special programs. The festival has no competition program.

We welcome you to Tartu!

Pille Runnel,

Director of the festival
