“La mia Roma” film contest is underway, showcasing short films with the eternal city as the central theme.
You can share your version of Rome and its myriad faces, with finalists going to the 2010 Roma Fiction Fest.
The competition is open to European residents, 18 years and over, with entries open until April 19th, 2010.
Rome stays with you, it imprints itself on your memory and in the heart without saying much.
Rome welcomes you, it gives you the feeling of a piece of history.
But in Rome there are also people who yell in traffic, who scribble their thoughts on the first blank wall seen, who get lost in the eternal night, who try to swim in the Trevi Fountain, who attach padlocks to Ponte Milvio, who wander the streets with a scooter.
Past, present and future mix in a babble of languages and race: at the markets, bus stops, in the piazzas and the stations.
We want your take, your view, a frame from your story in Your Rome, outside of the usual places.
See the YouTube My Rome site for more details and see some of the videos posted so far.
