Flickerings@Cornerstone Festival

Flickerings Film Showcase announces a new filmmaking competition to be held AT Cornerstone Festival 2002! As a part of our ongoing effort to kindle a filmmaking culture among our Cstone community, we've added a new Film Showcase category: "Films Shot at Cornerstone 2002." Shoot your film at this year's fest so we can screen it next year at Cornerstone XX!

We say it's time to stop talking and start shooting! ...anything from fictional dramatic films, like, say, "Godzilla vs The Underground Stage" to documentary pieces like "Gourmet Cooking at Cornerstone (or 'I'd Rather NOT Know What's In the Soup')" are encouraged. One warning: the longer a film is, the more strictly it will be judged; ergo, shorter films are much more likely to make to the program. The Flickerings 2002 seminar schedule includes workshops on improvisational filmmaking, with an eye to getting you out the door and shooting your film immediately. But while we're placing special emphasis on improv filmmaking, the "Shoot a Film @ Cornerstone!" contest is wide open: improvised and scripted films, narrative, documentary, experimental, and even animated films will be accepted. At least 60% of the film must be SHOT at Cornerstone Festival 2002 (i.e. on the grounds or near vicinity, during the week of the festival) and the completed film must be received in our office by February 1, 2003. The best films will be screened in a special segment of our 2003 Flickerings Film Showcase. There is no entry fee, but all filmmakers must fill out a Entry Form which will only be available during this year's Cornerstone Festival at the Flickerings Film Showcase (official rules will also be posted online). And in case anybody is wondering, the filmmakers supply their own gear and tape (or film!?) stock. This contest is separate from the regular Flickerings Film Showcase "Call for Entries" for 2003, which will be conducted according to the regular entry rules and deadlines already established. Good luck!!
