Almost 400 submissions from 45 countries were made for this year's festival. About 70 will be selected to compete in five categories: feature, short, experimental, documentary and animated films. A special category will include films that focus on women's issues.
About 280 submissions were made for last year's festival, which drew some 10,000 film-goers.
CineFest has been awarded a EUR 25,000 grant from the European Union MEDIA Programme.
