Send us your film now and win, together with 3 others, an unforgettable trip to the YEFF Festival in Slovenia from July 8 to 18.
What is YEFF!?
YEFF! stands for Young European Film Forum and is an organization that brings together young and professional filmmakers in Europe. This is all done to promote the engagement and self-reliance of young people within new media. The organization, which collaborates with various organizations from different countries across Europe, wants to encourage young people to make their own films.
By creating film productions around the theme of cultural diversity, YEFF! hopes to connect European youth.
Every two years, the festival takes place in a different European city. Germany, France, and Sweden were the locations in 2005, 2007, and 2009, respectively. This year, YEFF! has settled in Ljubljana, Slovenia. During such an event, you meet other filmmakers from various European countries. Together, you watch each other's films, attend workshops led by professionals in the field, explore the city, and attend film screenings. In short, ten days to enjoy, entirely at YEFF!'s expense.
