Bristol Filmmakers Festival

Here we go…details of the Bristol Filmmakers Festival and how to submit films

On the weekend of 14/15th June, the Bristol Filmmakers Festival 2008 comes to the Watershed and the Arnolfini, an event which gathers together and celebrates the independent film community in the city. Organised by three local film exhibition and network outfits – Cineformation, Bluescreen and the Misfit Collective – BFMF2008 screens a variety of the independent film work created in the city, some well-funded, some barely funded and some that come in under a tenner.

The weekend will feature a host of special screenings and provide the chance for independent filmmakers to meet, swap ideas and knowledge. More information will be released closer to the event, but we are currently calling out to independent filmmakers in the city to send in their films so that we can select the strongest programme to screen. The criteria is that the films must be submitted on DVD along with the submission form that can be obtained by emailing bfmf2008@yahoo.com – also the address to direct any questions. The deadline is Monday 26th May, and films should be sent to BFMF2008, C/o The Misfit Rising, 82 Colston St, Bristol BS1 5BB.

We are also inviting filmmakers to submit material to the Sweded Classics section of the Festival. Following on from Michel Gondry’s feature film Be Kind Rewind, we are looking for ‘sweded’ films, where a classic popular feature film – or extract – is refilmed with DIY inspiration and resources (and at much shorter length). Can you swede the whole of Terminator in 6 minutes? There is a later deadline for Sweded Classics: Saturday 7th June at the above address.

It all sounds great. Looking forward to it. How do we submit a film for the festival? or is that still to be worked out? It would be great if you had a few categories, e.g. first time directors, animation, no budget, etc. can't wait to hear all about it. cheers John p.s. thanks for the Mike Leigh masterclass - it was really good

Thanks for the comment John. Details for the festival are still to be worked out but we would like input from filmmakers so I'll keep you posted on a meeting date. Glad you enjoyed the Mike Leigh event!
