INVITATIONS
Invitation to Nisi Masa

A European network of young cinema, NISI MASA brings together associations from 19 different countries. Strengthened by the diversity of its members, NISI MASA is able to experiment in every direction: script contests, scriptwriting and directing workshops, distribution of short films, publications, conferences etc.

NISI MASA aims to facilitate exchanges between new talents by breaking down the barriers between amateurs and professionals. For the young European generation, widening the field of possibilities means considering cinema not only as an artistic form of expression, but also as a tool for understanding the world around us, and a passion to be shared - a true conveyor of European citizenship.

The six following films have been made in September 2008 in the frame of the Cine-Train’s project, a cinematographic adventure of fifteen days in the mythic Trans-Siberian train from Moscow to Vladivostok.
