IN THE PALACE International Short Film Festival (Film Palace Fest) (Bulgarian: Международен фестивал за късометражно кино В ДВОРЕЦА) is one of the largest and most prestigious cinema forum in Europe, presenting films from all styles and genres of length up to 27 minutes. It was held each year in late June in the Black Sea town of Balchik. In 2015, because of its growth and popularity, the main event was held in Sofia in december.

The main objective of the Festival is to present and contribute to the development of contemporary film art in Bulgaria, Europe and the world, creating a favorable environment and platform for young filmmakers and established professionals.

Program

The festival has a competitive character including International, National and Student's competitions. The participating films are determined by a selection committee and evaluated by an International jury. There is an award fund allocated for the fiction, documentary, animation and experimental film categories.

Traditionally, within the Festival are held training programmes, seminars, lectures, master classes in directing, cinematography, development of film projects, digital art, post-production, PR and a qualified market for short films and projects.

History

Conceived initially as a forum for student films, the Festival is held for the first time in 2003 in Velingrad. Since its second edition, the Festival is hosted by the town of Balchik, situated on the Northern Black Sea coast of Bulgaria. Venue of the festival is the architectural park complex "The Palace", former residence of the British princess and the Romanian Queen Marie of Edinburgh.
