Calling all filmmakers
This is just a little something that fell into our inbox from the people across the hall, Devon and Cornwall Film. Sounds so interesting we may just dust off the old cine camera and head along to Widecombe fair. Read, enjoy, submit.
“The movies of Free Cinema in the 1950s saw young talented directors making films which reflected the world around them, outside the studio system and on shoestring budgets.
Devon and Cornwall Film is calling on directors of today to follow that example and make a short, socially real documentary for the D+CFree competition.
The films of D+CFree will be shown with Free Cinema 1, at Two Short Nights, the short film festival at the Exeter Phoenix on December 6 and 7, and be eligible for a unique award designed by Helen Snell.
The films should be documentary-based and no longer than 10 minutes and can be shot on any medium and submitted on DVD to Devon and Cornwall Film, 19 Gloucester Road, Newton Abbot, TQ12 1AY. Mobile movies should be sent to
