Student Cuts film festival will be held 12 to 13 May 2022 in Maribor, Slovenia. Student Cuts film festival is aimed at young authors in the early stages of their film careers. Their independence lets them work on unconventional, creative, energetic and subtle ideas. Such films are an important insight into the local environments and everyday themes seen from a different perspective. By joining Student Cuts network the authors not only gain access to the big screen, but a network of audiences all over Europe, contacts with experts and simply gain exposure. In the end, films are made to be watched. The festival is reserved for independently produced youth films without assistance of professional production companies or individuals. The director of the registered film had to be under 30 years old when the film was finished. Student Cuts film festival is an event and I like events...
