Fujifilm launches 2010 Short Film competition
Following the success of the inaugural 'Fujifilm Shorts', Fujifilm Motion Picture has unveiled details of its 2010 competition.
Just like in 2009, short filmmakers have the chance to win a host of great prizes including £4,000 worth of Fujifilm Motion Picture film stock. Full details of the competition are available from www.fujifilmshorts.com
'Fujifilm Shorts' is open to all UK based short filmmakers, entry is free and entrants can submit as many short films as they like. There is one category with an open brief with two prizes being awarded - 'Best Film' and 'Best Cinematography'.
In addition to the £4,000 worth of Fujifilm film stock up for grabs there is a whole range of other prizes on offer - Technicolor is providing a 'Rushes Package' including film processing, a one light transfer, sync sound and Digi-Beta deliverable. Technicolor Creative Services will also present both winners with a 35mm print of their films for this year's awards screening.
Other prizes include: a five-day lighting hire package courtesy of Panalux; Panavision is supplying a 35mm or 16mm Camera and Dolly hire package; a 'Three-Day Weekend' studio hire package from Island Studios; a year's free subscription to both British Cinematographer Magazine and Moviescope Magazine.
The cinematographer from the winner of both sections will also win a free ticket to the Camerimage International Film Festival of the Art of Cinematography, in Poland, December 2010. The prize includes flights, accommodation and industry festival passes. The British Society of Cinematographers will welcome the two winning cinematographers to all BSC social and technical events for a period of one year.
All submissions must be shot, in their entirety, on Fujifilm Motion Picture film stock and must have been completed after 1 January 2008. All submissions must be less than 30 minutes long. The closing date for entries is 29 January 2010.
