Entries for the Purbeck Shorts are now open

Never mind the Oscars, here’s The Purbeck FIlm Festival Short Competition 2023. We are now open for entries at https://filmfreeway.com/PurbeckFilmFestival.

The competition has become a centrepiece for the Festival itself and attracts short films from far and wide. Last year’s overall winner was Babel, a film from Spain, while also in the running was a film shot on the cliffs near Swanage and an animation from Israel.

There are separate categories for animation and live action and prizes are awarded by both the audience on the night and from a panel of esteemed judges including film directors, script writers and academics.

The only criteria is that the films are 10 minutes or shorter. So grab your megaphone and get directing – YOU could be the one showered in plaudits and praise this October…
