A Cinema in the City Centre<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGenoa is a unique city, home to the largest historic city centre in Europe.\n

\n\nThe Nickelodeon Cinema \u2014 which will host the Festival \u2014 is located right in the heart of it, just steps away from the main street. In addition to a large screening room, the venue offers an outdoor terrace, perfect for coffee breaks and networking moments.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Submission<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt is very simple: a single submission makes your film eligible for all main award\ncategories. If your film addresses specific themes, you may also submit it to the relevant special categories \u2014 this does not limit your eligibility in any way, as you will still be\nconsidered for all general awards.\n

\n\nFilmmakers deserve to be protected and encouraged. Enough with unreasonable submission fees. One simple entry needed: the stronger your film, the more seriously it will be considered.\nSubmissions must be made exclusively via FilmFreeway.<\/b>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
