FILM makers Steven Spielberg, the Coen brothers and Jane Campion all started somewhere and now, if you’re a high school student in Years 7-12, Heart of Gold International Short Film Festival (HOG) may be just the place to launch your film career.
If you’ve created a film that’s between 3-7 minutes, that’s edgy, thought-provoking, good-humoured and sure to leave audiences feeling uplifted or enriched, then a ‘Young(er) at Heart’ entry form has your name on it, but hurry as entries close Friday 18 September.
HOG chairwoman Claudia Granshaw said the inaugural competition provided Australian high school film students the perfect chance to have their work professionally judged and recognised.
“Not to mention, there’s the potential to have their short film shown on the big screen at the festival on Sunday 11 October, and to win the latest GOPRO camera,” she said.
“We created Younger at Heart this year, with the aim of helping unearth and celebrating the talents of younger people.”
Entries can be assessment pieces, foreign language films (with subtitles), documentaries or an original creative masterpiece.
This year’s eighth HOG (held from 8-11 October) also features a masterclass program with bucket loads of golden learning opportunities from some of the best in the film business.
