The 1st International Motion Festival (IMF) will be organized in March 2012 in Nicosia, Cyprus by the Department of Arts of the European University Cyprus, and it will be the first of its kind both in Cyprus and the broader Mediterranean and Middle East region. It aims to bring together film-makers, video artists, computer animators, graphic designers and their audience and to familiarize the public with what has traditionally remained as the "invisible art": motion graphics.

Creatives from around the world can submit their 60-second-movie. Each movie must express a personal position, perspective or attitude towards Germany while all styles and techniques (live action, stop motion, animation) are permitted.

Submission deadline is September, 20th 2010.
