VerticalMovie Italy, Vertifilms Czech Republic, Vertical Film Festival Australia are the promoters of the contest Covid 19 underexposed.

The world that emerges from Covid-19 will not be the world we knew before.

We ask filmmakers-artists from all over the world to TURN a VERTICAL SHORT or a short vertical sequence during the social space: a vertical video of up to 15 seconds, shot on an extraordinary day in the history of humanity. That date is May 1st,

FRIDAY’, MAY 1, 2020

Usually a global day of celebration, solidarity and love, May 1, 2020 promises to be very different for people all over the planet who live in the shadow of coronavirus. The title Onwards, Upwards raises the question of what we can draw from this experience to move forward, displayed in a vertical frame.

So on this date you take the camera, phone or animation tools to create a vertical moving image that tells us how you feel in this situation: you could show your current experience wherever you are; could embody a sense of global solidarity; or maybe see your hopes for the future post-pandemic. It’s your turn. Deafening
