Dear All,

Please ignore if you have already responded,  it is just a gentle reminder that Encounters Short Film Festival call for submissions closes in 4 weeks, and we have some great multiple entry deals.

My name is Sophie Mair, I am the Festival Co-ordinator at Encounters Short Film Festival, the largest short film festival in the UK, which takes place from 17 – 22 November 2009.

We are currently calling for submissions and wondered if you would like to submit a number of student shorts for consideration at this year’s festival. We do charge a fee how ever if you are submitting 2 or more we are offering a heavily reduced rate, which is negotiable. Please see attached document.

I have also attached a short and long blurb along with a small jpeg to include in newsletters and websites.

If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

I look forward to hearing from you.  

Kindest regards 

Sophie 

Encounters Short Film Festival footnote

It is a key date in both the film industry and in the region’s cultural calendar, attracting huge local and national press attention. Encounters is a dynamic forum for the media industry and many high–profile professionals make their way to Bristol to discover new talent and see the very best in short and animated film from around the world.

The festival provides an integral platform for both new, up and coming filmmakers and for the more established practitioners; it showcases a diverse range of screenings from the International Panorama series to NAHEMI Student Shorts.
