lift off Filmfestival

am pleased to announce that my last micro film

Hiking in and around " Sainte-Valière Pouzols" in Occitània was selected for  the lift off Filmfestival

The story :

This loop connects two villages:Pouzols, village stage on the way of the Piedmont, way towards Compostela:You will discover all the "treasures" of this village and the vestiges of its history.Sainte Valière, village of Art and Literature, rich of its artists, poets and painters.

From Montpellier, at the foot of the Cevennes, to St-Jean-Pied-de-Port, before crossing the Pyrenees, this little known path will enchant you with the serenity of the landscapes and the beauty of its churches, abbeys, castles and bastides. After the bitter scrubland of Minervois, you will climb in the picturesque city of Carcassonne.

 You then enter the Cathar country ..

Here is an article from their website"It is important to note that the first round of this competition is held online, via Vimeo On-Demand. The finalists are screened at both our annual Sessions event at Pinewood Studios in August AND they form part of Los Angeles Lift-Off Film Festival screening at Raleigh Studios, Hollywood in the summer.Guaranteed screening to all submitters for the first round.

 This festival's first round is online, the top 5 films of each programme will be selected by the public, where each online audience member is asked to vote for their first and second favorite. These are weighted equally to remove bias. Each of the top 5 films (the semi-finalists) receive FREE Intermediate Lift-Off membership.The semi-final is internal where the Lift-Off Judges pick their overall finalist from the top voted films. 

The finalists are all screened at Pinewood Studios UK AND Raleigh Studios, Hollywood, where an overall winner, who may select a live festival screening of their choice on the Lift-Off Platform (currently eleven cities worldwide).The Lift-Off Sessions is a monthly online showcase, dedicated to screening the monthly collection of globally submitted indie shorts and features. With the aim to send each programme out to as wide of an audience as possible. The reason this festival is so different from many others is due to our data on declining audience figures for indie film. 

We decided to extend our resources to cater for an all-encompassing and welcoming platform where everyone can see the type of work and varying elements from as many projects as possible.Lift-Off Sessions isn't about selecting the best possible shorts or features from the films that are submitted to us, it is about providing a screening opportunity for everyone. An opportunity we hope highlights and educates each and every month.For you, the Lift-Off Sessions showcase is an invaluable opportunity to see lots of your contemporaries' work, while supporting indie film and its continued success.Lift-Off Sessions screens shorts and features of all genres, from every corner of the globe.
