Short Film Competition 2008
Calling all student film makers!
This is your chance to win $1000 plus workshops to the value of $6300 by making a short film about life at Sydney University.
The University of Sydney Union wants all you cinematographers to come out and display your film making skills on screen for all to see. Based on the 2008 Beijing Olympics slogan, this year’s theme will be ONE WORLD, ONE DREAM.
By entering USU’s 2008 short film festival all participants will be given the opportunity to attend a workshop in early August covering some of the major aspects of film – producing, writing, directing and editing held at the cutting edge film school Participate film Academy.
To enter all you have to do is use the theme and incorporate the Quad and a USU building as reference shots to create a 1-5min film.
To be eligible 3/4 of the crew must be a current University of Sydney student and a USU member holding an Access Card.
