Description

Amateur Film Festival WIPE is created to give viewers the opportunity to watch films of different genres made by non-professionals, who in turn will be able to meet with their audience.

The word “amateur” comes from the Latin word “amo”, “to love”, and that love for cinema is at the heart of all the works that we show in our film festival. This love not only replaces the film-education for their authors, but also exempts them from all sorts of boundaries, which an education creates. So the amateur films for us is not a conceptual format of the film festival. It is a search for the new film language, which can exist just outside of industrial schemes of production and distribution.

First edition of WIPE will take a place later this year in Berlin and we invite everyone to participate. The only requirement for the participants - no film education. Genre, format, duration and other formal and technical characteristics are not important.

The best works in the categories of “Film”, “Director”, “Screenplay”, “Actor” and “Actress” will be awarded prizes.
