INTRODUCTION
Adelaide Festival Centre’s GreenRoom and Media Resource Centre invite emerging film makers aged 16 – 30 to enter a new short film competition.
As part of Adelaide Festival Centre’s OzAsia Festival, the GreenRoom Short Film Competition is inspired to present you with a theme of ‘Guru’ for this year, which ties in with the festival’s Indian focus.
This short film competition is about celebrating young emerging filmmakers and recognising the talent of local artists. Cash and prizes will be awarded to the three best films along with a People’s Choice Award.
Up to 12 finalists will be screened as part of the GreenRoom Short Film Competition at Mercury Cinema on Tuesday 18 September 2012
THE BRIEF
What do you think of when you hear ‘guru’? Your favourite teacher? Indian takeaway? Aging Australian entertainment reporters with an akubra fetish? Take it and make it yours.
Your ‘guru’ themed film should be no longer than 5 minutes and will need to delivered on DVD (in 16:9 format) and as a MPEG2 file for screening.
Judging criteria for all films will be based on
– Creativity of cinematic expression
– Effective communication on this year’s theme ‘GURU’
– Originality of story line or interpretation
– Potential for audience engagement
– Quality of production values
