The Montecara Film Festival (Montecaran: Fèsta Montecarà di Çìnema) is an annual international film festival held in Montecara. It features premieres of films from all genres, including documentaries, made across Esquarium. Each participating nation is allowed to submit one film for consideration for the festival's grand prize, the Béco aùreo (Golden Goat). Films must have been completed in the preceding 12 months and make their premiere at the festival to be eligible for screening. It takes place each year at the Çinematèca di Stado.

Format

The weeklong festival takes usually takes place in September or October. An opening ceremony held on the first night traditionally features a major opera singer performing the Montecaran national anthem before the Secretary of Education and Culture makes an introductory speech. The year’s films are introduced along with their directors, and the members of the jury are announced and introduced. There is sometimes an additional musical performance, usually of film music from the past. A reception follows the opening ceremony.

Films are screened each afternoon and evening of the festival, and there at least one reception or party each night. The last night of the festival features the awards ceremony, where the Béco aùreo is presented to the winning film by the Patron of the Çinematèca di Stado.

Prize

The Béco aùreo statuette

The festival's grand prize is the Béco aùreo, which is awarded on behalf of the Çinematèca di Stado to that year's best film. The physical prize is a golden statuette of a goat, Montecara's unofficial national animal. The jury is composed of directors, actors, writers, and other filmmakers associated with past winners of the prize.

Films awarded the Béco aùreo tend to be highly sought-after by distribution companies, many of whose representatives are always in attendance. Winning the prize is seen as one of the greatest financial blessings an artistic film can achieve, as it all but guarantees that the film will see a wide release and, more than likely, turn a profit.
