With just a week to go until the opening of this year’s Brief Encounters Bristol International Short Film Festival (Wed 23 – Sun 27 Nov '05), we are delighted to announce that the panel of judges for DepicT! 2005 has now been confirmed:
David Sproxton Director/Founder, Aardman Animations Ltd
Jeremy Howe Executive Producer, BBC Talent
Gina Fucci Managing Director, Films at 59 Ltd
Pamela Casey Manager, LOVEFiLM Shorts Acquisitions
Dawn Sharpless Creative Director, Dazzle Short Film Agency
Simon Relph Producer
Mark Cosgrove Creative Director, Brief Encounters & Head of Programming, Watershed
Monica Dutta Director (6 Goats - Director Co-winners of DepicT! 2004)
Oliver Manzi Director (Non-Fat - Co-winners of DepicT! 2004)
DepicT! 2005 has proved hugely successful this year with a record number of over 320 entries. A staggering variety of entries were received, from filmmakers as far afield as Germany, Canada, Hungary, India and Brazil, making the job of this year’s judges a tough one. Their brief, as in previous years, is to uncover distinctive voices - originality, style, clarity of idea & impact are key. For the first time ever, the DepicT! judging session will take place during Brief Encounters.
