Nos Yeux Grands Ouverts International Film Festival

Overview

Since 2014, the MAACASSO association organizes each year, an international art film festival called NYGO for “Nos Yeux Grands Ouverts” (which means Our Eyes Wide Open). The festival creates a competition between independent filmmaker artists from all over the world. Our aim is to promote and highlight the new talents of the contemporary audiovisual creation. For the 10th edition, our association is looking for young filmmaker artists with an art film project that will be submitted to the judgement of the NYGO jury. This year, the festival's theme is “Resonance”. This theme can be treated in a sonor, visual or conceptual way because it can be understood as a reflect, or an impact with consequences. The resonance is a link between two elements, an impact of one to another, an answer from one to another. The artist must express a resonance in its film, but its goal can also be the achievement of its own resonance into the public’s appreciation, to create a link between the artwork’s meaning and the spectator’s feeling. We want the art films to be a mean for the artists to spread their ideas, visions, concerns and feelings as a shock wave on the public, and a canal to interconnect individuals.
