Opportunities for RUFA Cinema and Photography students<\/h3>\n

The selection process for the INK 2026 call has been exceptionally extended until March 5, exclusively for RUFA students.<\/h5>\n

 
\nWith INK 2026, cinema returns to dialogue with live music in one of the symbolic venues of Italian culture: the Auditorium Parco della Musica \u201cEnnio Morricone\u201d in Rome. For the 21st edition of INK, the Saint Louis College of Music<\/strong> launches a national open call addressed to directors, filmmakers, and visual artists, inviting them to submit concepts for silent short films that will come to life through live orchestral scoring.<\/p>\n

This opportunity is aimed at those working with audiovisual language who wish to see their creative vision engage with original compositions, written by the Composition and Film Scoring students of Saint Louis and performed by a large live symphony orchestra in May 2026.<\/p>\n

The new INK 2026 format<\/h4>\n

With INK 2026, the project opens up even further. For the first time, artists outside Saint Louis are invited to enter into direct dialogue with students from the Composition Department, who will write original music specifically conceived for the selected short films. The chosen concepts will become complete works \u2013 short films scored with original music \u2013 and will be presented during INK 2026 with a live orchestral performance on the stage of the Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone in Rome. A multi-voiced creative dialogue in which direction and music meet within a high-profile scenic context. During the evening, the projects will also be evaluated by a qualified jury, which will award the INK Prize for Best Short Film. <\/p>\n

Who can apply<\/h4>\n

The call is open, with no age or nationality restrictions, to: directors, filmmakers, authors and aspiring directors, illustrators, animators, and individual or collective visual artists. Concepts for live action, animation, stop motion, or mixed-technique short films are eligible, provided they have a strong visual and narrative focus in relation to live orchestral scoring. <\/p>\n

Project requirements<\/h4>\n

The selected concepts will lead to short films: – with a maximum duration of 3 minutes and 30 seconds<\/strong> – original and previously unreleased<\/strong>, with a strong visual and narrative identity<\/p>\n

After selection, directors and composers will work in close collaboration, building a coherent artistic path together, culminating in the public presentation during INK 2026.<\/p>\n

How to apply for INK 2026<\/h4>\n

Applications must be submitted by March 5, 2026<\/strong>, exclusively through the online form, attaching:
