Tell Your Story
AZERBAIJANI YOUTH FILM FESTIVAL
2017 THEME
Do you have someone in your family with an extraordinary talent or story?
Do you live in an area unlike any other?
Do you have a view of the world unlike anyone else?
This year we’re looking for stories only YOU could tell.
Submit a film in one of three categories:
DOCUMENTARY
Interview a family member, show us a unique place in your town, follow a day in the life of a teacher at your school
​
The documentary category is for films that take us into your real life
SHORT NARRATIVE
Recreate a story from your childhood, imagine the world from your dog's perspective, show us what you think your town was like in the past
​
The short narrative category is for films that take us into your imagination. Films in this category have to connect to you in some personal way.
MUSIC VIDEO
Perform a song you wrote or love, choreograph a dance, film your favorite wedding band
​
The music video category is all about the music. Films in this category must feature a performance and minimal dialogue
