The 2009 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
The films are judged in each venue by a local jury and the overall favourite is awarded glory, fame and £500 in cash. But before the show begins the audience will be asked to bet on who will be the grand winner.
Bet on the right film and win various prizes!
Check out clips of the films on BoSs website and local venues from 7 November.
More details about the programme and venues to be announced soon.
