2023 Program

Campari - Posters to Production

Want to see your unmade film idea up in lights?

Campari are calling out to all filmmakers to submit a synopsis for an unmade film idea you may have been sitting on for 30 years, three months or three days.

If your idea makes the cut, they’ll turn it into an eye-catching poster to be unveiled at the Campari Cinema Lounge at MIFF. Each poster will take inspiration from Campari’s iconic style and feature a QR code to help crowdfund your project from poster ideation to development for production. A portion from every Campari cocktail sold at the Campari Cinema Lounge will also be attributed to each of the four chosen posters.

Campari is a proud partner of MIFF’s Shorts program and the Shorts Awards for the festival’s 71st edition.

Please note: Submissions are now closed – see the nominated posters at the Campari Cinema Lounge during the festival.
