The deadline for entries is Sunday 26 February...
If you’re fed up of the flawless, shallow sheen of Hollywood flicks and the glossy, nepotistic people involved, crank up whatever film-making equipment you can scrounge and whip out an entry for the United Kingdom Emerging Talent Short Film Festival, hosted in Nottingham this year. Festival directors James Coe and Eloise Sochanik wanted to create a competition that ignored celebrity and slickness, and looked past budget and productions limitations to the talent and art beneath.
Any short film up to 25 minutes long and made after 1999 is eligible, be it animation, live-action, or documentary. And there’s a top prize of £8,000 – the biggest prize for a short film in Europe – ready for the taking. Lights, camera, action – in the digital world, you’ve got nothing to lose and it’s all to play for. We believe in you, kid – you’re gonna be a star.
Deadline for submissions is Sunday 26 February.

We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
