Young Filmmaker Call Out for Otherham

7th October 2024 by Lauren Randall

Flux Rotherham and imitating the dog are looking for 4 young filmmakers to create short original films to be part of Otherham.

Otherham is a light and sound installation trail created with Children’s Capital of Culture for the Winter Festival in January 2025. It will re-imagine the centre of Rotherham as a place which is slightly out of step with reality; a magical place where anything is possible. These films will be shown outdoors as part of the programme at one of the town’s transformed buildings: “The Cinema of Future Films”.

The films can be made in any style: animation, cinema, stop-motion, video art…anything! They should be created around the theme of “Hidden Worlds”. The festival will have a real sense of magic and playfulness and we’ll be looking to include ideas which fit within that ethos.

They should be 2-3 minutes in length and, as part of a family festival, be accessible and appealing to all. A soundtrack is preferable but not vital.

The four winning films will receive a £400 production fee, support from a professional mentor, and be featured at the launch of Children’s Capital of Culture next year.

The Otherham film competition is open to all young people aged 16-25 living in or studying in Rotherham.

Deadline: Monday 14th October, 5pm
