About SMART7
Established in 2023, SMART7 ignites cinematic magic by uniting seven prestigious film festivals across Europe, including the renowned Reykjavik International Film Festival (RIFF). This dynamic collaboration, fueled by Creative Europe – MEDIA, transcends borders to celebrate diverse storytelling and cultural exchange, elevating emerging filmmakers onto the global stage. Each participating country submits a film for the competition, after which a council made up from a student of each country will vote on the winning film which will be awarded with a €5000 cash prize.
