Meniscus is an independent film festival in its sixth year of existence. The festival is organised by a dedicated team of volunteers, no one is paid for any of their work or assistance in organising the festival. The event is made possible by the good will and participation of independent filmmakers and a little sponsorship money from some very, very kind-hearted individuals and organisations.
The Meniscus Film Festival is currently taking films for its annual 5 min film competition. Films are all submitted based on a single title idea, that varies each year. This years title is ‘TIMING IS EVERYTHING’. You may also add you own title.
‘TIMING IS EVERYTHING’ films may be any original format and
• MUST be no longer than 5 minutes. (Including titles)
• MUST be titled or subtitled ‘TIMING IS EVERYTHING’.
• MUST say in the Credits produced for the MENISCUS Film Festival 2006.
The interpretation of the title is left to the creative talents of the filmmaker. The winning film is determined by the audience vote on the competition night. Successfully short-listed film makers will be sent a pair of complimentary tickets to the screening on the 11th November at the Whitgift Film Theatre in Grimsby. The event is open to the general public and is a blast!
The Winner will receive (for 1 year) the prestigious RAVENSCROFT short film Trophy and a prize to the value of £500. Please send DVD or Mini DV Screening copy to address below. There is a £3.50 entry fee. Submission form can be downloaded from www.meniscusfilms.com or by emailing info@meniscusfilms.com - this is not limited to people in the local area - we have had entries from all over the world, so do please send in a submission.
