Short Film Festival

Interweaving culture with entertainment, while merging them with talent, and circling it all in both an educational and fun-loving sphere, AEGEE-Valletta and CommA have been implementing their youthful efforts to their upcoming event, it being a short film festival. This festival is going to unfold itself into two primary events, starting off with an introductory course to film making, which will then actuate itself into the showcasing of all the films submitted by the participants, eventually leading to a winner being announced.

The introductory course to film making will be held between the 1st and the 18th of March, and it will envelope five sessions: Lighting and Photography, Script Writing, Filming, Editiing 1 and Editiing 2. Rendering it both feasible and accessible to both students and other participants, all sessions, excepting script writing, will be held at the University Studio. The course is offered at a total price of 20euro for all sessions, with the possibility of paying on a session by session basis, in which case the price would be that of 5euro for each session. It is also worthy highlighting that the course will be delivered by professional lecturers all throughout, and that the price is fully smart card refundable.

Following the instructive stage, all youths between 16-30 will then be encouraged to create their own short film. Nonetheless, this is not subject to their having attended the sessions. With regard to their product, the film has to be from 2 to 10 minutes long, and participants can work in groups of up to 5 people. All films are required to be submitted between the 18th to the 22nd of April.

This will then lead to the short film festival itself, in which screening of the films will take place before the general public as well as a panel of judges. This will be followed by a reception where the winner will be announced and awarded the price of 200euro. A small entrance fee will be charged, which will include the screening, free flowing wine, and finger food on the night. The venue where all this is going to be held will be announced shortly.

So let's see you all in March where we would enhance not simply our knowledge of, but also have our mini masterpieces in an industry that engages the interest of many - filmaking!
