Call for Submissions – Vanuatu Very Short Film Festival
Vanuatu Very Short Film Festival announced today that they are now officially accepting entries for the 2008 festival.
Port Vila, Vanuatu, October 02, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Vanuatu Very Short Film Festival announced today that they are now officially accepting entries for the 2008 festival.
“In only its second year the festival has already grown to be one of the top 18 film festivals in the South Pacific” claimed festival board member Aaliya Ahmed.
The Festival is an initiative of local NGO Oxfam International Vanuatu and aims to showcase the rising talent in local film making. This year’s theme is ‘black and white’ which you can be interpreted anyway you like.
“I want to encourage lots of ni-Vanuatu entries” said Oxfam Youth Officer, Nelly Willy. “We don’t care about the quality, if you have an interesting story that you can tell in less than 3 minutes we want to see your film.”
Last year’s ‘Best Film’ winner Ross Fraser used the recognition from the short film festival to launch his short film career. “It was frustrating being almost famous for so long. I can’t thank the organiser enough for this break.”
After sell out success of last year and the growing level of international interest this year, the festival has put Vanuatu on the film festival map.“A lot of people have been calling this the ‘Cannes of the Pacific’ and I’d say they are right on the mark” said the intense fast-talking organiser, Torrey McDonnell.
Monies raised from the event will go to supporting projects by the Oxfam Youth Action Partners.
