REFRAMED – call for entries
Regulations and Call for Entries
The CineMAiubit International Student Film Festival, 29th edition, December 9-13, 2025, organized by the CineMAiubit Foundation and UNATC, in partnership with CINEPUB, is organizing an international competition section for student trailers and film essays.
The section is open to film trailers and video essays created based on a film available on the cinepub.ro platform, chosen from the list attached to this call.
The contest is open to all students attending film programs in Romania and abroad, regardless of their year of study. Students from Film Schools, as well as those from Film Departments or Film Studies Programs within other faculties (e.g., Literature, Visual Arts, Communication, etc.) are eligible. Participation is conditional upon presentation of proof of enrollment in such a program.
A maximum of one entry per student may be submitted in each category. Trailers must not exceed 90 seconds, including credits, and video essays must be no longer than 10 minutes. The language of presentation/ subtitles/ voice-over is Romanian and/ or English.
The deadline for submission is December 7, 2025, at 10 p.m. Entries can be submitted to the competition by completing the entry form.
The submitted works will undergo a pre-selection process carried out by the CINEPUB editorial team. All works selected for the final will receive a “REFRAMED by CINEPUB” diploma and will be screened at CineMAiubit, where a special jury (TBA) will select one winner for each category.
The prizes (for the best trailer and the best video essay) consist of a video editing software license offered by CINEPUB. The winners will be announced at the CineMAiubit Gala and on the Festival website.
Both the winning and nominated works will be broadcast on the cinepub.ro platform and on the YouTube channel THECINEPUB for a period of five years from the date of the first public communication, with entry into the competition representing the authors’ consent to broadcast.
