OPEN CALL – Singapore Heritage Short Film Competition 20162 min read
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe Singapore Film Society is proud to announce the 3rd Singapore Heritage Short Film Competition (SHSFC) 2016! And you are who we are looking for!
Launched in January 2016, the mission & objective of the SHSFC is to unearth and recognise filmmaking talents who will approach our rich and vibrant Singapore Heritage with a fresh and exciting look. The HSFC aims to present the unique heritage of our young nation, told through the eyes of our budding filmmakers. We cordially invite all filmmakers to submit their work through our Open Call.
Due to increasing popular demand to participate, for HSFC2016, we have decided to have both an open category and a student category. In other words, anyone can now participate regardless of age and whether you are a student, a working adult, or a retired senior citizen. The short film competition is open to all who are interested to explore and document Singapore’s heritage on film.
This is an Open Call for proposal submission. We will collate the proposals submitted, and worked out the successful entries that will proceed to shoot their short films. After the award ceremony in August, there will be a travelling showcase of the HSFC finalists’ films to various public venues and places of heritage in Singapore to showcase the short films.
In 2016, our theme for the competition will be “POPULAR MEDIA CULTURE BEFORE 1989.” This includes both print and broadcast media from cinema, television, music and radio. Similar to the previous two editions of HSFC, our competition has two stages. Send us your written proposals first for consideration, and we shall inform the selected teams before you proceed to go ahead with making the films. We also accept completed film entries that are produced within 2015 ““ 2016 if it is relevant to the theme.
For the final film submission, kindly submit DVDs in either MPEG 4 or Quicktime file format. The film should also be uploaded to Youtube or Vimeo, to facilitate judging. Films may be in any language. However, non-English films must be subtitled.
