Tel Aviv International Student Film Festival June 19-24

The International Student Film Festival is returning to the streets and cinemas of Tel Aviv – between the 19th and the 24th of June 2013
The International Student Film Festival Tel Aviv, run and produced by students, is the largest of its kind in the world, earning itself much prestige and reputation over the years of its existence.
Since 1986, hundreds of filmmakers, academics and key figures in the international film industry, gather for a rich and intensive week of fresh young cinema and a unique cultural experience. Originally a biannual event, and owing to the success of 2012, this is the first Festival to take place two years in a row.
Here’s a little of what we had last year
Over 200 short and full-length films; 150 young filmmakers and honored guests; 20,000 USD cash prizes for winners in six categories of the International Competition; 21 workshops and master classes; nine films produced for the Water Project - an IsraeliPalestinian cinematic cooperation; nine distinguished international Jury members (among them Ari Folman, Academy Award-winner Stefan Ruzowitzky, and the prominent director Urszula Antoniak); eight days of celebration; seven destinations on the cross-country film ;bus; six guests from the West Bank at the Mediterranean and Middle-East Competition; five socially-focused screenings at the Beit HaAm Micro Cinema; four venues across the city; three special tributes (to the La Fémis School, the Cahiers du Cinéma magazine and .to Nollywood, the Nigerian Film Industry); two minutes (and thirty seconds) of a breathtaking opening clip; and one Tel Aviv
