OSKA BRIGHT FILM FESTIVAL OPEN FOR ENTRIES
Deadline: Tuesday 30 April 2011
Festival: The Corn Exchange, Brighton Dome
Tuesday 22 - Thursday 24 November 2011 (tbc)
The 5th international festival of short films made by people with learning disabilities invites submissions for the 2011 festival.
Oska Bright is unique. It is the first and only festival managed and promoted by learning disabled artists as a showcase for their creativity and skill as film-makers. Submitted films are selected by a panel and there is a variety of categories for which awards are offered, including development bursaries. There is a film-making workshop and networking opportunities over the three day event, culminating in a lively awards ceremony.
Through its touring and training projects, Oska Bright has a huge audience and its films are winning awards in international festivals. Since the last festival, over 28,000 people worldwide have seen an Oska Bright film and in February 2011 it leads a major development project in South Australia.
The festival is looking for films that are under 10 minutes long. They can be in any genre, from live action or animation to documentary or dance-film. Films can be made by groups or individuals in the UK or abroad and they must have learning disabled people in control.
The deadline for entries is Tuesday 30 April 2011 and the Festival takes place over 3 days in November 2011, in Brighton.
The website www.oskabright.co.uk has full information on how to enter and an accessible on-line guide to film-making. Or you can call on 01273 234 734 or email oskabright@carousel.org.uk for an information pack.
