The Antares Film Festival invites films where work is not the background, but the heart of the story. We are waiting for talented works in which the profession of the hero becomes the basis of drama: characters, conflicts, dreams and achievements are revealed through it.
The focus is on people whose hands and minds perform everyday feats: steelworkers and teachers, doctors and farmers, engineers and fishermen. Stories where work is not just an occupation, but a destiny are important to us. Where a machine, a blackboard, an operating room or a construction site turn into a space of personal growth, struggle, triumph or tragedy.
We accept films of any genre, from social drama to documentary epic, if the hero's profession directly affects the plot in them, and the viewer lives with him the challenges of labor: whether it's saving lives, creating a masterpiece, overcoming the elements or fighting for justice in the workshop.
Our goal is to show how work shapes a person, and how a person changes the world. To give a voice to those whose professions often remain "behind the scenes", but without whom our daily lives are impossible.
In 2025, three competitions will be held as part of the Antares Film Festival.:
1. Competition of full-length feature films (from 40 to 120 minutes);
2. Competition of short feature films (from 5 to 20 minutes);
3. Documentary film competition (from 5 to 40 minutes).
Send a movie that inspires you to be proud of overalls, respect the craft and believe that work is not only a duty, but also a dignity.
Acceptance of works will last until July 1, 2025.
