"Winter Apricots: Prilep International Film Festival" is a film festival at its second edition, born by the meeting of a Macedonian architect and an Italian Filmmaker wishing to keep alive in Prilep, a small town in Macedonia, a quality cultural event.

The festival focuses on short movies, up to 30 minutes and the aim is to become a cultural point of reference for the local artists, film lovers and the whole area, offering screenings but also concerts, workshops, and exhibitions.

We believe that crowdfunding is the most appropriate funding method for our project. The will to be independent is the main reason that droves us here, instead of relying on more institutional funds.

The grants will be used to cover the costs of the venue, the awards, the promotional material and to bring in town professionals of the field, assuring an high-quality event, completely free and open.
