Devon and Cornwall Film

There are loads of beezer events happening in the region this November. We’ve been wittering on this week about the Cornwall Film Festival, and we’re always dropping D+CFree @ Two Short Nights into the conversation (cos it’s gonna be fantastic, etc).

But we haven’t really put a rocket up your backsides about this year’s Motionplymouth festival (November 12-17).

And it’s really time we did, cos you only have a few weeks left to submit your film/tape/mobile opus. Entries must be in by October 1.

The competition has the following categories. We’ll bold bits up to add a little touch of gravitas.

Phone In - send your mobile phone movie to mobilemovie@motionplymouth.com

Music - pop promos, live events, interviews, exclusives.

Plymouth - a view of the city, either fictional or documentary.

Open category - factual.

Open category - fiction.

The festival’s highlight should be the swanky awards ceremony in Plymouth’s new Roland Levinsky art centre, where winning filmmakers will finally get their mitts on a prestigious Frankie gong. Oh yes!

Those Motionplymouth fellas are plenty ambitious and the festival looks set to be a massive improvement on last year’s efforts. Stay tuned to D+CFilm for more on Motionplymouth over the coming weeks.
