FESTIVAL INFORMATION

The world’s greatest mystery is the mystery of life.
There are two moments when this mystery is most profound:
At life’s beginning and at its end.

What is life?
Why do we hold it sacred?
How do we come to exist?
Where does death take us?

We have asked these questions from the beginning of time.
Our minds force us to seek the answers
Through faith and reason, art and imagination.

That is what Cinema Vita Film Festival is about.
We are looking for short films that focus on the dignity of life.
Movies shape public opinion and influence our culture.
Can you create a film with a new twist on the mystery of human life?
