Top Three Films Announced For ITN's Short Film Competition

The top three films have been announced for the ITN Source Short Film Competition in association with Sheffield Doc/Fest and Audio Network.

The finalists are Adam Forrester, an Assistant Professor of Art from Columbus, Georgia; James Arthur Armstrong, a film critic and filmmaker from Liverpool; and Matthew Sanger, an Archive Producer for TV/film productions, concerts & events from London.

The three short films are: 'Marfa, Texas' by Adam Forrester; 'Ferguson, Missouri' by James Armstrong and 'Mask' by Matthew Sanger.

Their short films will be screened at the Showroom cinema at Sheffield Doc/Fest from 10-15 June 2016.

ITN Source challenged filmmakers to create a one minute short film using archive material from ITN Source and music from Audio Network. There were no creative constraints, and in this year's brief entrants were also given the opportunity to include up to 10 seconds of self-shot footage.

Amy Bigmore, Marketing Executive at ITN Source, said: "Yet again we have been blown away by the calibre of all 86 films submitted this year. We always love to see the unique and imaginative ways filmmakers use our footage to bring their stories to life."
