BAFTA Launch ‘60 seconds of fame’ In Association with orange a unique short film competition
   
Northern Film & Media are supporting an amazing competition launched by BAFTA this week. This is your chance to get your work on a national platform and to walk down the red carpet at The Orange British Academy Film Awards. See web site for more information and check out the workshop pod casts for top tips.
This new BAFTA competition has the support of BBC Nations and Regions and the Regional Screen Agency network and is open to anyone aged 16 or over. Shortlisted films will be shown by each BBC Nations and Regions and, following a public vote, one winner from each area will win two tickets to The Orange British Academy Film Awards in 2007. The overall winner will be announced and have their film featured as part of the BBC One broadcast of the ceremony.
Budding film makers are invited to submit a 60 second short film based on the theme ‘Celebrate’, to reflect BAFTA’s 60th birthday and Orange’s 10 year partnership with the Academy.
Designed to promote creativity, 60 Seconds of Fame is an innovative competition that aims to give the general public the tools and ‘know how’ to create their own 60 second short. Anybody aged 16 or over can enter the competition and, to help filmmakers achieve the right look, editing software, soundtracks and guidance can be found on http://www1.orange.co.uk/entertainment/film/baftas.php
. Respected British directors Ken Russell and Martha Fiennes, along with newcomer Julia Jason will create exclusive 60 second films for the initiative.
It’s easy to enter by uploading a film online at http://www1.orange.co.uk/entertainment/film/baftas.php
The deadline for entries is 4 January, 2007.
