Entries are open for the QPF Filmmakers Challenge, 2009
CALLING ALL FILMMAKERS!!!
The Queensland Poetry Festival challenges Australian filmmakers, video artists and other multimedia practitioners to produce a short work (5 minutes max) which explores the possibilities of poetic expression via audio visual technology.
Poetry is defined broadly as memorable language. Your work might be a record of a poetry performance, a video text manipulation or something entirely different. We are looking for work that displays creativity, originality and an understanding of possibilities of language.
A prize of $500 is up for grabs and the winner will be announced at the 2009 Queensland Poetry Festival (21-23 August, 2009). A selection of entries will be screened at the Poetry on the Big Screen session at QPF 2009. The deadline for entries is Friday 17 July 2009.
