While many creatives have the privilege of not needing to leave the confines of their home to cultivate their talent, filmmakers have reached something of a standstill because of the corona-induced lockdown. Revart, New Giza University’s artsy student organization, now offers a super creative and innovative outlet for filmmakers with their homemade vertical film festival.

“Verticals films are more accessible for everyone to make, and they’re also easier to view,” said fourth-year NGU Medical Student and founder of the festival,  Daved Rezk. “It was very important to us to maintain a theme of self-quarantine, and give filmmakers the opportunity to create films out of and based on their current situation.” 

The submitted films must be filmed at home, must be less than 3 minutes long and the film aspect ratio has to be vertical (16:9). The yet-to-be-announced judging panel will then choose 15 of the entries to upload onto the Revart Facebook and Instagram accounts, before reaching a final decision on the first, second and third-placed films. There will also be an audience award that will be voted for by the public, with all awards coming with monetary prizes. 

In the spirit of self-distancing, you can only catch the films online on IGTV and Facebook accounts once the selections and winners have been chosen. Soon, they will also be posting live mini-masterclasses with local filmmakers on Instagram. 

Eligibility of Submission:

  • Applicant must reside in Egypt.
  • The entire film must be filmed in-home.
  • Film length must be less than 3 minutes.
  • Film aspect ratio must be vertical (9:16).
  • Submission deadline: April 20 midnight.
  • By submission of this application, the applicant agrees that her/his film can be uploaded on the festival's social media channels and may be used in the festival's future editions marketing campaigns.
