STIFF is Croatia’s first International Film Festival dedicated entirely to student films. Established by the SKC Rijeka (Student Culture Center) and organized in collaboration with Filmaktiv – the purpose of the festival is strengthening the student film and video industry by allowing an insight into the work of other fellow student filmmakers, encouraging the development of new ideas and establishing an international collaboration in the field of media production.
With two successful years behind and more than 3000 student films submitted from around the world, STIFF opens its submissions window for its 3rd edition.This year we are focusing on documentaries and therefore we are leaving the early bird deadline for submission of the category of documentaries free of charge. Another news are two out of competition categories in which students can apply with experimental film and art video of up to 25 min in length and unrestricted in the year of production.
