Leamington Underground Cinema Festival
International Independent Film Festival.
About
As part of the breathlessly exciting first Leamington Underground Cinema Festival this year, there will be a breathlessly exciting short film competition. We are looking for a selection of the coolest short films to screen throughout the festival, with the best film submitted (as judged by our shadowy, elite panel of film experts) winning a grand prize of £1000 at what is likely to be glittering and certain to be drunken event on Sunday 29th September in Leamington Spa.
Here is the good part – unlike most film festivals and competitions – there is no entry fee.
So if you fancy getting your ace short film screened at a brand new festival alongside some fantastic features and deeply unique film events – and possibly making off with a grand to show for it – read on…
Program
- A short film competition, THE LUC SHORT FILM PRIZE;
- Some cool and exclusive feature length and short-film screenings throughout the week;
- An evening of musical and cinematic entertainment at Leamington’s exciting new Live Art and Music Project venue with a special screening of ace indie music documentary Anyone Can Play Guitar;
- A sure to be infamous Punk Rock film night at the already infamous Zephyr Lounge.
Awards
- LUC Short Film Prize 2016 and £1000 (which is about $1500).
- LUC 60 Seconds Max Prize 2016 and £250 (which is about $350).
- LUC Short Animation Prize 2016 and £100 (which is about $150)
- LUC FESTIVAL FEATURES: Selected features will be screened during the festival.
Rules
- Leamington Underground Cinema events usually feature films that are shocking, funny, cool, quirky or unusual — or hopefully several of those at the same time.
- Any film completed from January 2014 onwards can be entered. It's not a problem for us if it has been entered in any festivals or competitions before.
- Submit via Filmfreeway.
