Leopards of Tomorrow International Competition

The Locarno International Film Festival's short film section is opening the submissions for the Leopards of Tomorrow International Competition, dedicated to fiction films from young directors who have not yet made feature films.

Short and medium-length films (on 35mm, 16mm, or standard definition video, to a maximum length of 40 minutes) are eligible; priority will be given to films that have not yet participated in other international film events. Please note that animation films are not accepted for this competition.

For submission, we kindly invite you to send us a DVD or VHS copy of the films, together with a fulfilled official Entry Form of the festival (online on our website www.pardo.ch), a short synopsis and a bio-filmography of the director.

The deadline for submission will be the 1st of June 2008.
