The British Academy of Film & Television Arts launched a new short film competition today – 60 Seconds of Fame, run in association with Orange.
This new BAFTA competition is open to anyone aged 16 or over. Shortlisted films will be shown by each of the 15 BBC Nations and Regions and, following a public vote, one winner from each area will win two tickets to The Orange British Academy Film Awards in 2007. The overall winner will be announced and have their film featured as part of the BBC One broadcast of the ceremony.
Budding film makers are invited to submit a 60 second short film based on the theme ‘Celebrate’, to reflect BAFTA’s 60th birthday and Orange’s 10 year partnership with the Academy. To help filmmakers achieve the right look, editing software, soundtracks and guidance can be found on www.orange.co.uk/bafta.
The deadline for entries is 4 January, 2007.
