ABOUT

Water Towns EFAF is an international event that features recent and historical pieces of documentary film and artistic production under a selected environmental theme. The theme guides the principles of the festival but does not limit content nor participation; Water Towns EFAF is an open platform.

FILM: The main program consists of a number of feature-length films invited after a curatorial process, and two sections of short films: Student Films and Independent Films, chosen after an open call for submissions. Parallel events in the form of “conversation” style talks (by filmmakers, special guests, faculty, and students, discuss the issues addressed in the films).

ARTS: Performances, art exhibits, workshops, and class visits by local and international artists will enlighten the main topic.
