U.Frame is the first International Video Festival organised by the UP (University of Oporto - Portugal) in partnership with the UDC (University of Coruna - Spain). More than a competition platform for short films, it will promote and showcase creativity applied to new technologies. Thus, two special competition entries are offered: Light Media (films made with mobile phones) and Second Life (films produced in a virtual environment). We aim to promote contacts and exchanges between students in the area of audiovisuals from all over the world and reward the most creative works.
The event aims primarily to:
- promote contacts and exchanges among university students in the field of audiovisuals at an international level
- develop creativity
- reward and endorse the best projects (for example: screen the best works at Oporto's International Film Festival – Fantasporto)
- hold training sessions.
