Golden Smile International Film Festival
Yes, you read that right, another festival. But we are setting the bar high; we are looking for the best comedic (intended or unintended) films and videos. All genres and forms are welcome. There is only one condition: make the audience laugh.
The Golden Smile International Film Festival kicks off on Blue Monday, January 18, 2021, in Bergen (NH). On this day in the midst of a pandemic, the festival brings light and cheerfulness into the darkness.
Organizer Peter Bosman chose this date deliberately. "We could certainly use a bit of cheerfulness. You win everything with humor. We chose January 18, 2021, as the start of the first edition of the festival."
Since registration opened, submissions have been pouring in. Filmmakers from all over the world have submitted their work, from Iran to Brazil; the United States, Spain, South Korea, and Tunisia have all sent in their work.
Humor is universal. Humor makes people attractive and combats prejudice. From slapstick to feature films, silent films, sketches, short films, comedic documentaries—in short, all film forms that make us laugh. Humor unites; whoever can laugh enriches themselves and others in the world. Whoever makes others laugh makes the world more beautiful and safer.
Difficult genre
Humor is a difficult genre for filmmakers and actors. A professional jury and the audience determine the winners. It is exciting: will it remain silent in the room, will there be a chuckle, polite laughter, or roaring laughter? The film with the most laughs wins. It is that simple.
