St Kilda Film Festival Entry Deadline

Entries for the St Kilda Film Festival http://www.stkildafilmfestival.com.au/ close this Friday January 29, 2010. All entries must be received by 5pm or be post marked on the 29th January 2010.

St KIlda Film Festival is Australia's longest running short film festival and has been showcasing Australian short films for soon to be 27 years.

St Kilda Film Festival screens only Australian short films in all genres including drama, comedy, documentary, animation and digital media. Due to scheduling considerations, films with a running time of more than 40 minutes may have some restrictions placed upon them. Filmmakers with longer films are advised to contact Festival staff for further information before submitting their entries.

The 2010 competition will screen the top 100 short film entries received, and the competition is fierce!

The short film competition awards over $40,000 worth of cash and in-kind craft awards, including a $10,000 prize for Best Short Film!

Works in progress may be entered, just indicate the work in progress status clearly on the preview tape and advise of expected completion date.

 

You will need to do the following:

1. Submit a completed entry form,

2. Pay the entry fee, $33 inc GST per film submitted, via online service, or by cheque or money order sent with preview tape.

3. Send a preview copy of the film on DVD (ensure the DVD is not copy-protected, and that you do not send the original - it will not be returned).

4. Include one film still to be used in the program/website if film is successful (at least 300 DPI and as large as possible). Do not email your stills - the large files block up our inbox! Materials that are emailed will not be accepted. You can also include a CV of the writer/director/producer plus any publicity material (ie reviews, press kits etc)

 

Once the online entry form and payment have been completed, preview tapes and additional material should be posted to:
