Young Film Maker of Mann and Short Film Competition 2010 27 September 2010 This summer sees the return of the Arts Council’s two film competitions, Young Filmmaker of Mann and the Short Film Competition. Young Filmmaker of Mann is now in its seventh year and has become an established outlet for young Manx filmmakers to showcase their talent. Entrants must be under the age of 23. The Short Film Competition was introduced in 2007 as part of the Isle of Man Film Festival (now in its fourth year) and will be running once again for anyone who is resident in the Isle of Man, of Manx descent or whose films have a Manx theme. Individuals and groups can apply for both competitions and the categories are: comedy, drama, documentary, experimental, music video and animation. Category winners will be awarded £100 and competition winners will receive trophies and £200 each. Short listed entries will be screened in a showcase event at the Manx Museum on Saturday 11th September as part of the Film Festival. Hon David Cretney MHK, Minister for Community, Culture and Leisure said “Film and media continue to be a passion for young people, offering instant chances for expression via mediums such as You Tube and personal websites. Judging by previous years’ competitions, film making by young people is prolific on the Island and it’s always a pleasure to see the large number of entries we receive.” The judging panel for this year’s competitions will include local film producer Charles Guard and Rob Hurdman a Director of Greenlight Television as well as Arts Council members. The closing date for entries into both competitions is Wednesday 18th August. Entry forms can be obtained from the Isle of Man Arts Council on 694598, or email iomartscouncil@dtl.gov.im and via our website www.iomarts.com More stories >>>
