The competition is open to young European filmmakers between 18 and 35 years old. They will be able to participate in one of five categories related to the campaign: mobility, sustainability, rights, digital skills and business. There will be one winner per category, who will receive a grant of €7,500 to make his or her film, and which will be sponsored by one of five renowned European filmmakers involved in the #EUandME short film series.
Interested participants are invited to submit their idea for a short film telling a story related to the impact of the European Union on the daily life of citizens: in addition to a script of the film, a short video where the candidate will demonstrate his motivation and will explain the concept of the planned film are requested as well as a link to a short film they have achieved in the past. Applications must be submitted electronically via an online application form on the contest webpage (available from 24 August 12h here). The #EUandME campaign, with five short films directed by well-known European filmmakers, was launched in 28 Member States of the European Union in May 2018 with the aim of launching a conversation about the impact of the EU on youth life. Further details on the Young Directors Contest will be available on the campaign webpage.
