Call for Submissions 2009
We would like to invite filmmakers from around the world to submit short films (animation, music video, artist films, narrative, documentary etc.) up to 10 minutes on the theme ‘Control’.
Have you ever thought of your life as a walk on a tight-rope suspended between control and its loss? Keep walking, don’t waver, don’t lose your grip! Or just let go and savour the moments of weightlessness! Control has many shapes and measures. It can be mental, political, physical, social, scientific, strict, loose or something completely different. You might think about control theory, risk and stress control, mastery and skill, borders, surveillance and mind control, birth and pest control, Control panels, Ctrl Alt Delete, or just the remote control lying on your couch. We look forward to unexpected or surprising takes on the theme, but please don’t lose control of time – we can’t accept anything over 10 minutes! Well, yes we must admit…we are control freaks!
We’re called “Betting on Shorts” because we invite our audiences to bet on which film will win. Bets must be placed before the screening based on a synopsis, filmmaker’s bio and short trailer. Please keep that in mind when you fill in the relevant fields on the entry form and provide us with a short but informative bio and synopsis.
Submission deadline: 1 July 2009 [..]
