Film selection for the 9th edition of MikroFAF is officially finished.
This year, the hot potato of making selection for competitive programme was put in hands of Aleksandar Gubaš, one of the founders of LOW-FI VIDEO movement. After going through exciting film scenes from 38 very different countries, he made a selection consisting of 78 short films from all six continents, except Antarctica.
We want to thank all the authors who showed interest in our humble, but persistent festival, dedicated to support for DIY and indie production. We hope that in the future we will be able to accept and screen all the films we’d like to, and that we will not have to make painful decisions any more.
