Welcome to II International Short Film Festival Cinema Perpetuum Mobile!

We invite you to share our idea of promoting human values through art and independent cinematography. This idea is not new; however, it still unites hundreds of underground film-makers around the globe to join efforts in their sincere endeavor to see our world become a truly better place.

In 2012 Cinema Perpetuum Mobile has managed to show 197 short films from 35 countries at 8 screening venues. In 2013 Cinema Perpetuum Mobile will again turn into an international forum to showcase independent film-makers’ vision of intercultural dialogue in times of globalization, as well as of social problems we have to face in the 21st century.

As before, Cinema Perpetuum Mobile sticks to its goals to

• promote independent film-making throughout the world;
• search for new forms and solutions in cinematography;
• encourage cultural diversity in cinematography;
• develop and strengthen connections between film-makers and film-making communities all around the world.

This time Cinema Perpetuum Mobile will reach the audience not only in Belarusian regions and cities, but in other countries as well. It is you who help us bring independent cinema to more and more people, and our community is growing due to the principles we incorporate in our mission:
