| The End - Showing at Violated Short Film Festival |
With Nottingham, and the Midlands, deftly climbing up the British film hierarchy, it only seems right that there be events that allow local filmmakers to showcase their masterpieces to the masses. As filmmakers themselves with a penchant for shorts, OTT Productions will be hosting their third Violated Short Film Festival in March 2011, an event that aims to be a showcase for talents, genres and mediums. And their putting out a call for your submissions…
We had a quick chat with them about what they are wanting from the days: “The central focus will be short films, but we are also interested in the art of free speech and interpretation; be that through watercolour, fashion… or the medium of dance.” Enough said.
Violated Short Film Festival will be comprised of FOUR distinct event sections:
Short Films Screening
Showcase the work of the best local filmmakers the country has to offer, there are no criteria or restrictions on length, genre or content. They will be short listing for the festival, but will only be rejecting films based on their content if they feel it is 'too much' (e.g. Pro-Nazism, Pro-Kitten Drowning, Pro-X-Factor, etc…) They are encouraging entrants to push the limits of conventional filmmaking though narrative, style, content and effects.
Deadline for submissions is 28th February 2011.
Live Bands

Live Bands
As part of the festival, local bands and musicians will be playing live. Not only will they be providing entertainment and keeping the masses happy. If you’re interested in taking part or helping out on the music side of the day – get in touch.
Talent Market
Around the main screen will be a selection of stalls allowing anybody that has something to promote, raise awareness for or sell to do just that. We'd like to see everyone from painters and photographers to designers and t-shirt printers getting involved. These stalls are free to use, but places are limited – so if you want one, get in quick!
