SUMMARY:Temporal\, campaign closing
DESCRIPTION:TEMPORAL is the passion project of Weston Symes and James Tweddle. We have been dreaming about creating a grounded\, cassette futurism\, sci-fi film following a lone spaceman on a desolate world for years; TEMPORAL is the culmination of that dream. \nTEMPORAL is a short film about a spaceman surviving against the odds on a distant alien planet. After a magnetic storm claims not just his survey ship but also his copilot’s life\, the struggling spaceman continues on\, determined not to give up the mission. But\, as he discovers\, there’s something not quite right with this planet: something ancient is at work\, and the spaceman might just be the final piece to a cosmic puzzle. \nIt covers themes of isolation\, human resilience and existentialism inspired by the cosmic horror of H.P. LOVECRAFT and the hard sci-fi of THE EXPANSE series. \nFollow us on instagram

SUMMARY:Catchlight Film Festival - submission deadline
DESCRIPTION:Now in its fourth year\, Sony presents the Catchlight Film Festival to once again celebrate the best short-form filmmaking shot on Sony cameras across Australia and New Zealand. The Festival continues its mission to encourage filmmakers at all levels\, from passionate amateurs to industry veterans\, showcasing the exceptional talent and abilities of cinematographers and filmmakers who are using the Sony system to capture their stories. \nWhat’s New in 2024?\nIn 2024\, the prize structure for the major categories has been tweaked to better suit the needs of our prize winners. Where previous prize winners would take away $10\,000 worth of Sony camera gear\, that value is now split into $5\,000 worth of gear and a $5\,000 filmmaking grant\, allowing our winners much more flexibility to make the most of their winnings. In addition\, the Student Fiction category prize has been brought in line with the other major categories\, now awarding the same split $5\,000 gear / $5\,000 grant prize pack. \nFinally\, 2024 sees the debut of the “Cinematic Social” category\, designed to recognise striking and beautiful work created specifically for the small screen.\nCinematic Social is for the kind of short form evocative content that has risen to prominence on Social Media in recent years\, most often in the form of travel and lifestyle Reels. This content does not follow a typical fiction or non-fiction story line. The sequence of content may follow a theme\, idea\, location\, or concept. The key is the visual identity of the content remains the same which unifies the short film. \nCompetition Dates\nEntries open at 09:00 AM AEDT on Wednesday\, 21st February 2024 and close for submissions at 12:00PM AEST on Monday\, 24 June 2024.

SUMMARY:Tympanic - campaign closes
DESCRIPTION:Tympanic is our take on the post apocalyptic story. Inspired by Movies and TV shows like A Quiet Place and The Last of Us. We wanted to make a universal thriller that can be enjoyed by all. It’s a small story\, but one that we want to do beautifully. \nConceived a year ago by a group of young film crew workers (us) over an early morning coffee\, a small seed of an idea turned into a rather serious script with real potential. A horror/thriller with real emotional stakes and a tragedy at heart. \nA short visualizer captured the atmosphere and feel we were trying to achieve for the larger film. Using the actual main cast for the actual short\, we’re super proud of this film even though there’s a much larger story to tell. \nThis has all carried us to the present. Myself\, Jackson\, and my DOP Michael are super excited to make this special short film we’ve been planning for so long. We’ve already secured a few locations for filming and are in an intensive pre-prod schedule designing the world.

SUMMARY:Nuku’alofa Film Festival - campaign closes
DESCRIPTION:The Nuku’alofa Film Festival was founded in 2015\, by artistic director Sisi’uno Helu and other filmmakers from New Zealand of Tongan descent. It’s aim is to empower Tongan and Tagata Pasifika artists to tell their own stories by amplifying their voices through film. \nWith 4 past iterations\, The Nuku’alofa Film Festival has screened a wide tapestry of award winning films\, including Leitis in Waiting\, The Head and the Hand\, Lady Eva\, For My Father’s Kingdom and more. The Film Festival has served as one of few platforms to highlight both local and international screen artistry within the Pacific. With humble beginnings\, the NFF rallied support of local partners on a grassroots level. Creating intimate and meaningful relationships with filmmakers and local organisation in Tonga. Since its hiatus\, there has been interest for the Festival’s return. \nOur goal is to re-establish the presence of the Nuku’alofa Film Festival in Tonga.
