The Punto y Raya 2025 call for entries is still open. We are inviting filmmakers and visual artists from around the world to submit short, abstract films made entirely of non-figurative images. It's all about colour, form and sound: art in motion in its purest form!

Participation is free, and submissions are handled via our website: www.puntoyrayafestival.com/resources/articles/24

Deadline: Monday, 29 September 2025 (inclusive).

GENERAL RULES

• Submitted films must be made entirely with ABSTRACT IMAGERY, avoiding representational elements such as cars, people, landscapes, texts, etc. The focus should be on shapes, lines, patterns, blotches, colour, and expressive elements in their own right.
• All techniques are welcome:  drawing, video composition, CGI, scratch, op-art, stop·motion, camera-less film... the possibilities are endless.
• The soundtrack must not contain any words or lyrics, in any language. You may use instrumental music, silence, noise, abstract sounds, sonic landscapes, vocal textures... anything that does not include intelligible speech.
• Maximum duration: 8 minutes.
• Opening and/or closing credits are welcome.
• Films must have been produced in 2022 or later.
• Please submit your film in FULL HD / 1080p (1920 x 1080 /  progressive scan). If a DCP version is available, indicate so in the form - we'll request it if selected.
• You must provide a direct download link or FTP access to your film. Submissions without downloadable files may be disregarded.
• Preferred formats: .MOV or .MP4, using no or high-quality compression when possible.

The 9th Punto y Raya Festival will take place from 3–6 December in Sofia, Bulgaria.
