'History Unfinished' To Compete In BAFTA '60 Seconds Of Fame' Competition

The regional winners have been announced for BAFTA's '60 Seconds of Fame' in association with Orange.
Carol Moore's 'History Unfinished' has been chosen as Northern Ireland's entry to go forward to the grand final. Carol will compete against 14 other films from England, Scotland and Wales
The purpose of '60 Seconds of Fame' is to support creativity and to actively encourage the public to participate in the filmmaking process.
'60 Seconds of Fame', launched by BAFTA & Orange with Andy Serkis in October 2007, invited budding filmmakers from across the UK to make a 60 second short film based on the theme 'unite'. The best films from each of the 15 BBC Nations and Regions, as chosen by expert BAFTA panels, were shortlisted on www.60secondsoffame.co.uk.
Last week, BBC ONE screened the nominated films on their regional and national news programmes and encouraged the public to vote for their favourite. Over 24,000 votes were cast online and by telephone and we can now announce the names of the 15 winning filmmakers from the BBC's Nations and Regions.
The 15 winning filmmakers have each won two tickets to the Orange British Academy Film Awards. All 15 regional winning films will be shown on a big screen in Covent Garden's Piazza on the day of the ceremony. The overall winner, as chosen by a BAFTA Grand Jury, will be announced by Mark Kermode and Andy Serkis and featured as part of the Orange British Academy Film Awards ceremony broadcast on BBC ONE at 9pm on Sunday 10 February 2008.
