DepicT! Call For Entries

2nd February 2012

The UK's favourite 90 second shorts competition is back, and hungry for your entries.

 

DepicT! '12 challenges you to get creative in just one little minute and a half. Whatever your budget or genre, they want your super shorts – you can enter for free online and be in with a chance of winning £1500 prize money, invaluable industry exposure, and other exclusive prizes.

Every year, the shortlisted DepicT! Filmmakers are given the opportunity to network at the Encounters Short Film and Animation Festival (18-23 Sept 2012) where they get to meet distributors, producers, funders, exhibitors, other filmmakers and, of course, enthusiastic short film fans.

DepicT! is now in its thirteenth year and prides itself on the quality of its little gems. Just make sure your tiny film is hugely distinctive, imaginative and engaging.

Previous DepicT! winners have regularly gone on to be screened at other international film festivals and been picked up by commercial distributors, and some have carved themselves successful careers in the film industry – even being recognised as Stars of Tomorrow by industry magazine Screen International.

The British Council Film department is proud to be on board as a partner for another exciting year, and looks forward to working with the winner of the competition to help find screening opportunities for their work internationally.

Our friends at Shooting People are also offering every filmmaker who submits a film into DepicT! a discounted membership!

You have until Mon 9 July to upload your short film which gives you plenty of time to read the rules and also get a little inspiration by checking out the archive of over ten years of snappy shorts.
