Description

Greenhorn Short Film Festival is seeking films by young filmmakers to be screened as part of this year’s festival.

Films should be no more than 15 minutes long, and can be from any genre. The winning film will be screened at ArtHouse Crouch End as part of Greenhorn 2014 on Tuesday 18 November. Winning filmmakers will get two access all areas passes to the festival, a profile article on Ideas Tap, and a free ProductionBase membership. Greenhorn will also be screening the films of two runners-up, who will receive a pair of complimentary tickets to their screening and a free ProductionBase membership.

The judges are looking for a well-made short film by a first-time, or early career, filmmaker that stands out as having an original voice, and possibly a quirky angle. 

Greenhorn Patron, Mike Leigh, says of the festival:

“Greenhorn is stimulating, original, healthily anarchic and sharp as a row of needles. In short, a breath of fresh air.”

Gorilla Film Magazine says:

“Excellent films, intelligent discussion; I left feeling elated and inspired!”

 

Greenhorn Short Film Festival

  • How strict is Greenhorn with the length of the film? I know some festivals are fine with a few submissions to go over the limit by a few minutes or so, as they might get entries that are only 5-10 mins and then it all balances out. Obviously they have to set some kind of restriction though, otherwise they'd get all sorts.

    My film is 18mins 27secs should I submit it as is, and if selected send a 15min cut, or send a 15min cut straight off?

    Thanks!
