The European Commission Representation in Ireland and the Darklight Film Festival invite you to make a short online film on the theme of ‘Europe 2020′ – and what it means to you.

 

What will Europe look like in 2020? Is yours a dystopian or Utopian vision for the future? Will the issues around Climate Change have been tackled? Will unemployment / poverty be a thing of the past? Or has the Global Recession worsened? Will we all have flying cars or will have everyone have reverted to a bicycle? Will the Information Age have ended and will we enter a new previously unimagined Age? We want to know your thoughts.

 

….the proposition

Make a short film, one inspired by the notion of ‘Europe 2020′. Go on… It doesn’t matter if you record it on your mobile phone, a state of the art digital video camera, or create your own DIY animation – the idea’s the thing. Make it a comedy, a tragedy, a documentary, an animation – whatever takes your fancy. It’s about self-expression. And if it gets people thinking, even better.

 

…the prize

The winning entry will win a state of the art HD Digital camera worth €1200 and have their work screened this October at the 2011 Darklight Film Festival.  There are also runners up prizes for highly commended entries.

 

…the web

As this is an internet competition, your entries need to be uploaded onto a video hosting site – You Tube, Google Video, Vimeo… Any online video hosting site will do nicely.  Once you do that, submit your link, along with your details, on the “Entry” page. NB: Don’t forget to check out the terms and conditions of this competition.

 

 

Entries must be submitted by email by the 14th of October.

 

 

…the criteria

The winner will not only be selected on the basis of the best film produced, but also by the number of hits their video gets. 75% of the marks for the movie will be given over to creativity and imagination, and 25% for building an audience.

 

…the panel discussion

We will also be holding a free panel discussion on Saturday 22nd October 2011 as part of the Darklight Festival, discussing the future of Europe and the future of filmmaking in Ireland. It does not matter if you are a novice or experienced filmmaker, you will be sure to learn something on the day.

 

….check out our virals

You can check out previous European Commission / Darklight Online Short Film Competition winners, finalists and other virals to get you thinking, and also find out more about this competition athttp://www.euireland.ie/darklight/

Nominated for Best Director!

Scumbag Millionaire didn’t come away with any awards from the Dare Media Underground Short Film Festival on Saturday night, however we did get short listed into the final three for the Best Director award which is some feat considering there was a large number of films entered. Every film maker loves to get an award but there is also a sense of achievement to be short listed for any category. That you made an impression in some way.

Scumbag millionaire has been a labour of love like most short films but it was the great cast and crew that brought the idea to life.
