LOCKDOWN FLICKS: COMPETITION ENCOURAGES CREATIVITY

The Macrobert Arts Centre has launched an ultra short film competition to encourage creativity in lockdown.

Entitled 60 seconds in Lockdown, the contest is open to first time and experienced film makers of all ages.

There is no ‘lockdown’ on the subject matter, minimum (or maximum) budget and no set genre you must work to. There are just two simple rules –

Your film MUST have been created on or after March 23, 2020

Your film MUST be 60 seconds or under (including titles and credits)

The deadline for entries is 5pm on Friday 19 June 2020. For full entry requirements see filmfreeway.com/60SecondsinLockdown

Artistic Director, Julie Ellen said: “Hopefully you will have access to basic filmmaking equipment - through your phone, digital camera or otherwise - so join our celebration of everyone’s creativity and be in with a chance of seeing your short film on the big screen.”
