Contest Laceno d’oro 43
full-length, medium and doc films
Contest Gli occhi sulla città – V edition
Short movie contest
The short-movie contest Gli occhi sulla città (The eyes on the city) has been the core of Laceno d’oro Festival for the past four years. The incoming 2018 edition sees a renewing of the formula. The Festival bets on a triple-line competition, one for full-length films (and medium), one for short-movies and another one for doc films.
Still, the core and the basic idea behind Gli occhi sulla città remain the same. Cinema and urban spaces, a subject specifying and characterizing our observation point; at the same time, these two topics allow a wide range of cinematic approaches. The main goal is to think about urban transformations, their social consequences, their style and expressive changes, also their influence on our thoughts and imagination. The contests are open to any films, regardless of genre and nationality, capable of reflecting and reinventing urban spaces; perhaps movies influenced by city or townscapes, able to hypothesise production and distribution methods tightly bound to the environments they’re set in. Works that manage to tell something about past and present cities or towns, even films that attempt to imagine possible and impossible perspectives of a future city. Works in relationship with architecture, politics, city planning, or “simply” using the city/town as a/the character of their stories.
The relationship between the subject and the story is left to the creativity and originality of the author, as you can see taking a look at the winners of the past editions like DRIFT by Helena Wittmann, Confident by Karen Akerman and Miguel Seabra Lopes, Deposizione in due atti by Carlo Michele Schirinzi, Santa Teresa by Emanuele Dainotti and Alessandro Capuzzi. The juries has been lead by masters of cinema like Jia Zhang-ke, Abel Ferrara, Daniele Gaglianone, who’ve always read the urban topic in an open, transversal way.

Admission rules
The call is open to fictions and documentaries, regardless of genre, produced and shot in any video formats, completed after 1/1/2017.
The subject is cinema among urban spaces, declinable with total liberty. Contestants are allowed to resort to an “exclusively” narrative tone, but also urban, architectural, political and sociological accents are permitted. Nonetheless, every work will have to deal with urban pattern, questioning about cinema capacity to tell, describe or even “predict” and outline contemporary cities transformations, their scenarios, perspectives and issues.
Three categories provided:
- Concorso Laceno d’oro 43, medium and full-length films OVER 52’ minutes (from nowone, in this call, we will refer to this category as the full-length one).
