Laterale Film Festival is an international non competitive Film Festival of cinematic art organized by Associazione Culturale Kamen. The aim of the project is to enhance the most innovative aspects of audio-visual languages of the contemporary world and to reduce the distance between artistic research and public involvement. Particular attention will be paid to young and independent filmmakers and to self-made no-budget works, as result of their own individual search.

The first edition of Laterale Film Festival will take place in Cosenza (Southern Italy) at Cinema San Nicola from 12th to 14th June 2017.

The Festival promote a free and stimulating common ground of sharing, that shows what usually is neglected or rejected, result of the distance from the conventional way to do and to interpret the Cinema. A space that breaks down barriers and preconceived notions, type-approval and standardisation, a space that looks forward to developing into an artistic laboratory where you can choose now the Cinema of the future.

film submission.

I’m an experimental filmmaker looking to submit my work to Dazed or Vice. I would love to share my latest short film with you. 

BIG BANG 

A silent tal about a dying love. Symbolisms and sounds are the elements that I give to people to interpret the story.The exchange of behaviors and beliefs when to individuals collide is the creation of the universe.  

Big Bang is the explosion of this universe that utilizes chaos in order to destroy leaving room for emptiness so the individuals part their own way to recreate their own universe. The film was recorded in the desert of White Sands in New Mexico. The main influences for this short film are directors Maya Deren and Alejandro Jodorowosky. 

| Artist Bio | Laura Munoz aka Epifania Sanchez, Is a self-taught visual artist from the border city of El Paso,Tx. Interested in the exploration of symbolism to engage reality with micropoetry.   Enjoy,
