The EU-funded Euromed Audiovisual III Programme invites all South Mediterranean filmmakers to apply to its short film contest “MADE in MED” and to win the possibility to take part to Cannes Film Festival 2013.

 
The competition is open for filmmakers from Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Occupied Palestinian Territory, Syria and Tunisia, as well as for authors from other nationalities who live in one of the countries above.
 
The contest includes three different short film competitions around three subjects:

The films and the authors will benefit from a promotion within the Short Film Cornerof the Cannes Film Festival (accreditation + networking + presence on the stand + participation to the conference and events).
