Deadline for Submissions: 30th September 2011
Festival Screenings: 18th November 2011
The Swedenborg Short Film Festival 2011
is now open for entries and will place in the Swedenborg Society’s
grade II listed neo-classical Hall. Following the success of last year, we hope the festival will continue to establish itself as an annual landmark event on the UK film calendar.
Featuring
films of 30 mins or less, the heart of the Festival is to showcase the
latest new and established talent. Films should respond to themes
encountered in the work of scientist, philosopher, radical theologian
and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg (1688 - 1772).
Submissions are invited on a variety of themes and genres. Selected
submissions will be screened to a public audience at Swedenborg Hall in
central London; at the closing of the festival an award will be given
for Best Film.
- All film submissions must
be sent in DVD format by post, with a completed application form
(available to download here).
- An administration fee of £5 is placed on all submissions.
To download an application form please visit the Swedenborg Society website or for more information contact nora@swedenborg.org.uk.
