The upcoming Robotic Online Short Film Festival (or ROS festival) is a science fiction short film festival planning to focus on robotics related themes. The deadline for submitting short films is November 20, with films on display from December. We want to create a new space for dialogue between art, science and technology through audiovisual media and around the figure of the robot. The online festival provides a good scenario for promoting social reflection, creativity and artistic work around new realities, as well as opportunities and dangers posed by the technological convergence in which we are immersed. ROS Film Festival has two categories for competition: Fictional Robots, short films where robots have to come to life by usual film techniques (animation, characterization, puppets) and Real Robots, where the starring robots are robots whose hardware can be handled through software.
