Euro Media Forum, in collaboration with the European Commission Representation in Malta, are organising the second edition of My Europe Film Festival. The festival focuses on fostering the concept of a Europe without borders.

The film festival is aimed at encouraging people from all countries, be they artists or filmmakers, to reflect and create their views and opinions on a vision of Europe.

The film contest seeks to promote discussion about different views and visions of Europe and to raise awareness of short films on a Europe-wide level.

Through the promotion of short films, far beyond their country of origin, contacts can be initialised between professionals in the film promotion/festival and art house cinema sector while providing a platform to encourage short film distribution from eastern and south-east Europe.

The film festival presents two different film theme programmes. The first is Living in Europe, which tells stories about a meeting through time and cultures, bringing together characters, traditions, expectations, about authenticity and particularities.

The second theme revolves around Politics and Policies. These short films make a statement about borders, conflicts and diplomacy, decisions, consequences, confrontations and compromises.

Although not all films screened are necessarily explicitly about Europe, the European dimension comes out of the comparison of stories, conflicts and topics. In the end, there should be a colourful picture of our Europe.

During the film festival, the audience is given the opportunity to vote on the winning film for an Audience Award during the award ceremony that will be held in June 2013 in Berlin, Germany.

The festival is being organised in collaboration with the Turkish Embassy in Malta, and Maltese filmmakers are encouraged to submit their own short films.

My Europe Film Festival is taking place on Thursday and Friday at Europe House, St Paul Street, Valletta, at 7pm. Entrance is free on both festival nights.
