30 Minute Film Festival in Galway
Have you got a minute?? A one minute film perhaps... Well, Galway Film Centre and Input Media are running an exciting new event in association with the Galway Film Fleadh that could be for you... The 30 Minute Film Festival.
Filmmakers are invited to make a one minute HD film, which can be uploaded onto Youtube. 30 x 1 minute films will be selected by a panel of judges and they will be screened at a special public event on July 10th of the Fleadh 2011. What better way to spend the last day of the Fleadh than discussing the finer points of some one minute flicks from around the world?
2 awards will be given, the Judges Award and the Audience Award. Prizes will be announced shortly. The winning films will be available to watch on the websites of all organisations involved for some time after the Festival.
This is a great opportunity to get your work seen by an audience at this international festival. Entry is a recession busting €0! WOW, says you! That’s what we said too!! All genres are welcome including documentary. Animation is also welcome. The only condition is that the film is one minute, in HD and uploaded to Youtube. The HD format is even available on many mobile phones and pocket cameras so there's no excuse for not making a one minute masterpiece!
Deadline for Entry is 5pm (GMT) on Friday June 24th and to enter just go to http://www.inputmedia.ie/ and follow the instructions!
Engine Room Pitch Workshop
"A perfectly focused workshop that helps even the most unorganised thinkers find clarity and direction with their ideas. It is essential learning for anyone who wants to find the heart of their proposal and the words to convince others to invest in it." CONOR O’MAHONY – Director
Screen Training Ireland and Galway Film Centre are running this 2 day workshop, which is a unique project development and pitching event aimed at documentary filmmakers seeking Irish and international commissions and market intelligence.
Created by leading international pitch trainer Christina Burnett of Wide Eye Pictures, it will be an exceptional networking opportunity which has been successful in the UK, Brazil and Abu Dhabi. THE ENGINE ROOM PITCH WORKSHOP develops real projects which are then presented to two Irish commissioners for feedback. Delegates range from award winning senior producers and directors to first-timers and the structure will enable professionals at any stage of their careers to better understand the key elements of a successful project. Attendees can attend with a project or simply as an observer.
Participant Profile: This workshop is aimed at producers, directors, researchers and development personnel who wish to refine their proposals and explore the commissioning process.
Dates: 23rd - 24th June
Venue: Galway
Cost: 150.00 euro
