A CALL FOR ENTRIES
THE FOURTH ANNUAL FLICKERING IMAGE FESTIVAL SHORTS COMPETITION 2006
OUR FOURTH YEAR!
That's right, after THREE successful years, we are doing it again… but bigger and better!
INTERNATIONAL!
If history is a good predictor, entries will pour in from around the world... Europe, England, Japan, France, Australia, and quite a few from Canada. Though it will be quite a difficult decision, we will be able to choose just ten winners. Since the competition gets more intense every year, don't wait until 2007
A HOLLYWOOD SCREENING FOR THE TEN WINNERS
Each of the ten winning shorts will be screened in Hollywood (January 7, 2006)
AN AD IN VARIETY
Each of the ten winning shorts will get a congratulatory listing in “Variety” just before that infamous mega-festival in Park City, Utah.
MORE DETAILS
* Flickering Image is proud to present the Fourth Annual "Flickering Image Festival Shorts Competition 2006" - dedicated to sparking the careers of the next generation of moviemakers. Beginning JULY 1, 2005 shorts makers can submit their finished works (THIRTY minutes or less strongly preferred, and must be completed after January 1, 2004) to compete in the Flickering Image Shorts Competition.
The winners’ screening will take place in Hollywood, on January 7, 2006. The deadline for submissions is November 1, 2005 (all submissions must be postmarked on or before November 1, 2005). No exceptions. So, as they say, don't delay.
The top ten shorts are selected by open-anonymous ballots (each and every entering shorts maker will actually see how their work rated with each of three judges – something no other festival used to offer… until several started copying us!). Each of the ten winning shorts will be shown on the "big screen" in Hollywood and the winning shorts makers will receive awards – as well as a congratulatory listing in Variety (just before that "major festival"). More perks are in the works.
The founders of this festival have nearly a hundred years combined experience in fields like acting, directing, writing and criticism. With many festivals under their collective belts they've seen how poorly the process can be run, vowed to do better, and they did! Through publicly viewable correspondence they have planned and refined a festival the guarantees impartiality, accountability and dedication to the arts of visual storytelling that other festivals can only imagine.
No 'invited' films – everyone must compete.
No secret deals – all ballots will be returned to the shorts makers – including judges’ comments!
No watching the first few minutes – all ballots rate items like story, pacing, photography, and editing – elements impossible to judge in fast forward!
The Flickering Image Festival is about moviemaking – not politics and it is definitely not "business as usual." Fair, open and forward facing – this festival will make a difference.

We look forward to seeing your shorts!
