Castellinaria Film Festival call for pitches

The Castellinaria Youth Film Festival will take place from November 16 to 23, 2024 in Giubiasco, Switzerland.

The festival will hold a Pitching Lab for animation on November 18, 2024, as part of its Kids Film Forum, a meeting place for film professionals passionate about producing films and series for young audiences.

The Pitching Lab will be led by director Anja Kofmel. Priority will be given to films aimed at children, but the call is also open to filmmakers wishing to submit animated projects for adults.

Winners will be hosted by the festival, and will be able to pitch their projects to a professional jury.

• a CV
• a 3 or 4 sentence logline
