Bašta Fest is an international short fiction film festival, meaning that in order to be selected for the competition programme, you may only apply fiction films of up to 30 minutes. Applicants’ films must be produced within the last two years. Keep in mind that the festival and selector  Maja Šuša pay special attention to the cooperation between the director and the actors and that priority when choosing films will be given to those with authentic acting achievements. Bašta Fest is one of the few film festivals that awards actors in short films.
