Getting your message across – make a film to show at Darklight Film Festival

Last week the EU representation here unveiled their film making competition Democracy and Dialogue to run at Darklight Film Festival in Dublin. Its an excellent idea (anyone who remembers how much fun Votetube yielded will attest to that)- which like their help with our conference doesn’t push any agenda. For readers and contributors who fancy making their point but are better with images than with words, this is definitely for you. And I dont need an excuse to put up this from our last general election

….the proposition

Make a short film, one inspired by the notion of Democracy & Dialogue. Go on… It doesn’t matter if you record it on your mobile phone, a state of the art digital video camera, or create your own DIY animation – the idea’s the thing. Make it a comedy, a tragedy, a documentary, an animation – whatever takes your fancy. It’s about self-expression. And if it gets people thinking, even better.

…the prize

The winning entry will win a state of the art HD Digital camera worth €1800 and have their work screened this October at the 2009 Darklight Film Festival.
