Call for entries is now open!

This year we welcome you to Udine, Italy as host of the K3 short film festival. In Villach, Austria and Ljubljana, Slovenia local competitions take place.
The unique concept of doing K3 in three countries gives us the big opportunity to get to know three different cultures through film and real-life meetings. At the same time especially this year it is a big challenge to make it possible. We apologize for the delay in calls which happened due to budgetary problems of the Italian section!
Anyway we are ready to go now and we are looking forward to your entries and to an exciting K3 festival year.

Director of K3 Italy

DEEP END ART N°1

Ivan Ladislav Galeta | Croatia 2012 | 20´

Statement of Ben Russell:
"DEEP END ART No.1" by Ivan Ladislav Galeta is confident and entire, a living system unto itself. The title alone is a declaration of an idiosyncratic worldview, one whose conceptual borders extend far beyond the video frame. While it is clear that Galeta takes real pleasure in bird and bee, in sunlight and flare, and in time and decay, this is not enough. Lucky for us, "Deep End" turns this pleasure into the very material of video; aided by close-up and audio-amplification, "Deep End" is a fresh-picked apple for our eyes and ears (mostly held in our left hands).

 

3X3 AWARD
worth € 1.500.-

VOIDOV~

Manuel Knapp | A 2012 | 14´

Statement of the 3x3 Jury
METKA DARIŠ, Art Director of Slovenska Kinoteka
STEFANO MONTI, Creator and co-founder of art ex dono
BARBARA PICHLER, Director of Diagonale – Festival for Austrian Film

To all of us the film was outstanding on different levels:
Firstly for its innovative use of digital media and the creative transgressions of its possibilities.
Secondly for its ingenious construction of space with a unique visual language and the dynamic relationship between image and sound.
Thirdly despite its being a very minimal abstract work it incites a very physical reaction and creates the ultimate cinematic experience.
