Student International Film Festival (STIFF) 2014.
STIFF is Croatia’s first International Film Festival dedicated entirely to student films.
Established by the SKC Rijeka (Student Culture Center) the purpose of the festival is strengthening the local film and video industry by allowing an insight into the work of other filmmakers, encouraging the development of new ideas and establishing an international collaboration in the field of media production.
During STIFF (International Student Film Festival) the audience will be able to view the best shorts by young filmmakers from all over the world; films otherwise hard to get to and yet of extreme importance as they point to the future directions of world cinema.
The numbers of applications (600), as well as the quality of the productions, were more than satisfactory. This enabled us to compose and shape an exciting three-day programme which, classified into thematic units (Choices, Strange Loves, Silence, Journeys, Cities, and Rebels), incites dialogues among different narratives, styles and approaches to cinematic language.
The main competitive programme of the Festival offers 44 films from 24 countries, some of which have been screened and awarded at prestigious film festivals around the world and others, which will have their world premiere at Rijeka’s Art Cinema Croatia. 17 experimental documentary and fiction films, as well as video-art productions will be shown within an accompanying three-day programme between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. at the Palach Student Gallery.
