The Chania Film Festival organizes a Student Competition on:
"Stories to be heard!"

INFORMATION

The tendency to perceive the world through stories is evident in different cultures and historical periods, characterizing almost all areas of human perception, communication and creation. So many human stories evolve every day... Ours, our friends, our relatives, people we don't know. But we also hear stories about the past, about what they went through and fit into our memories. The recording, promotion and publication of stories gives voice to everyone to save his/her stories, to make them "in the public domain", to give added value to them by contributing to individual and collective memory. Because everyone's stories contribute to our common history! The recording of stories can be done by utilizing a variety of audiovisual media, giving the opportunity to cultivate skills in the production of sound, visual and audiovisual creations.

Students to implement digital, audio and / or audiovisual recordings of stories on proposed topics, referring to the community they live and act, as important elements of understanding their collectives, their multiple identities, the past and the present that unites them.
