SINFUL INDULGENCES IN THE GARDEN

“INTERNATIONAL BOTANICAL SHORT FILM FESTIVAL” Second edition

Orticolario has launched the second edition of the International Botanical Short Film Festival, with the theme of “The Sense of Dahlia”: until 23 August professionals and amateurs from the world of filmmaking and botany, along with video-artists, are invited to submit short films with a maximum running time of 8 minutes which – from an emotional, experimental, scientific, historical or philosophical approach – best document and express the vast symbolism surrounding this flower.

The Festival is open to works from all over the world which, once selected, will be presented during the fifth edition of Orticolario, from 4 to 6 October in Villa Erba, on . The winner of the Festival – chosen by a Jury consisting of experts from the film, audio- visual and botanical industries – will win a prize worth €3,000. Special mentions will also be awarded where other works, in addition to the winner, are of particular interest. In order for the work to be accepted by the Festival, it is crucially important to document one or more varieties of Dahlia in the film as its star element.

The Festival is organised in collaboration with OLO Creative Farm and Aperitivocorto.
