Flipside categories

Yesterday, we told you about Plymouth’s forthcoming Flipside film festival (May 21-31). Today, we’ll tell you how you could show your flick at the event.

Entries can be of any genre or filmmaking style, although should explore one or more of the following thematic areas:

The View From Here: Films which provide the audience with the opportunity to ‘see’ our world from different and unfamiliar visual perspectives, achieved by manipulating ‘the real’ with various cinematic techniques and technological trickery.

View Point: Films which celebrate non-mainstream / non-traditional and minority viewpoints and experiences of our world – especially political / spiritual / ideological viewpoints and experiences that are under-represented by mainstream broadcast media.

4:3 ReView: Films which creatively embrace ‘endangered’ media practices, processes and technologies, featuring everything in the 4:3 aspect ratio, from Super8, Standard 8, & Standard 16mm film, to analogue & pixelvision ‘toy’ video.

Entries can be accepted in VHS / miniDV / DVCAM / HDV / DVD-video (Region 2 or Region 0) / standard 8mm / super8 / standard 16mm / super16.

Other media formats can be accommodated by an, ahem, ‘special arrangement’. Nudge nudge. Wink wink. Etc etc.

The deadline for entries is May 14 so you’d better head over to the Flipside website immediately to download an application pack.

Check out D+CFilm over the next few days to find out about some of the filmmakers involved in the Flipside festival.

And here’s one of the films in View Point section, Behind the Mask, an everyday tale of animal rights activitists.
