ARE YOU READY TO TAKE ON CANBERRA?
Call for short film entries – BentFest 2006 ‘Hot Pink Shorts’ competition.
Canberra’s gay and lesbian film festival opens on the 10 November and runs to 1 December.
One of the most popular aspects of the festival is our short-film competition. Entries are now open for this!
The short film competition is open to all short films that have been made by, or for, members of the Queer community. Production date is open, although films that have been entered in previous Capital Queer Film Festivals are ineligible for the 2006 Competition. Films must not exceed 30 minutes in length. We can accept films only in VHS or DVD format.
Entries for the short film competition close Tuesday 24thth October 2005 and will be short-listed by the Bent Lenses Committee. All films on the short-list will be screened on the evening of Friday 24th November at The Australian National University’s Coombes Theatre. Judging of finalists will take place by a panel and announced on the evening of Friday 24th November.
First Prize is Aus$700. There is also an ‘audience favourite’ award of $300. This will be selected through an audience survey/poll on the night.
Our aim is to bring queer screen culture to Canberra and to support the development of independent film-makers. So, we encourage you to enter your short film for competition, even if you have never entered a festival before or are unsure if the film is good enough…. This will help our festival and also give you a chance to have your films shown publicly on the big screen. Where possible Bent Lenses will endeavour to screen, with due permission from the film maker, short films which are not short listed for competition.
