DepicT! 2004 announces call for entries

Make a micro-movie of under 90 seconds and you could win a cash prize of £3000, have your film promoted online, published on a DVD and see it screened at Brief Encounters 10th Bristol International Short Film Festival (November 17 - 21 2004).
The winner will be picked by a panel of distinguished industry professionals, whose brief is to uncover distinctive voices - originality, style, clarity of idea and impact are key. DepicT! 2004 offers more prizes than ever before - not only does the winner receive a cash prize of £3000, the fifteen shortlisted films will be included on a promotional DVD, sponsored by Orange, which aims to heighten the profile of DepicT! and the filmmakers involved. Each shortlisted filmmaker will receive five copies of this DVD, as well as a ticket to the Brief Encounters Awards Ceremony.
This year, there will also be a chance for the public to vote via text for their favourite DepicT! films with the introduction of the Orange DepicT! 2004 Audience Award. The shortlisted films will be posted online for voting from Friday October 1 2004, while Orange users will also be able to take advantage of new video streaming technology to view the shortlisted films (on compatible phones) on Orange World.
The winner of the Orange DepicT! 2004 Audience Award will be announced at Brief Encounters International Short Film Festival 2004 alongside the main award, and will take home a top of the range mobile phone and other Orange prizes.
Deadline for entries is Monday September 13 2004.
