ROLL UP… ROLL UP!

TAKE THE 15 SECOND FILM CHALLENGE…

Call for Entries

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to what we affectionately call the Cinema of Distraction. Do you have what it takes to make a great 15 Second Film? It’s harder than you think, but here at the 15 Second Film Festival we’ve already gathered together over 100 such micro-short cinematic nuggets and now we’re commissioning and taking submissions for this year’s batch. We’re also planning to give away some fantastic prizes for the best films we receive this year, (Specific prizes and film categories TBA)

The 15 Second Film Festival, (featuring ‘The Mini Mogul’ Cinema: A unique 2-Seater Art Deco Picture Palace, and our NEW Inflatable Cinema) commissions, exhibits and distributes micro-short films. Our itinerant Miniature Film Festival tours as: a New-Media Roadshow & Cinematic Sideshow to Film, Arts, Music Festivals, Cultural Events and Universities in Ireland, UK and Europe…

How to Enter

Our festival is open for anyone, of any age, anywhere in the universe to participate. Films can be of any genre or type, be it documentary or drama, animated or live action, the only restriction is on the length of the film. There are three ways to get involved: Full Commission (now closed), Production Assistance Only (now closed), or Independent Submission (still open). Further information, including submission deadlines, is available here.

Please HELP distribute the Poster

We’re hoping the attractive poster (above) will encourage everyone to submit their ideas this year, but that means they have to see it first! So if you know the perfect spot to put up a poster, be it a coffee shop or office corkboard, why not print one out and help spread the word? Click HERE for a high resolution printable version of our 15 Second Film Challenge Poster. Then feel free to forward this message to your friends, families, colleagues, acquaintances, strangers, or just about anyone you think might be interested in making a film.

W.T.F. is The 15 Second Film Festival?

In 2008 4Talent did a little profile of the ethos and behind the scenes at The 15 Second Film Festival… including the building of the ‘Mini Mogul Cinema’ – a luxury two-seater Art Deco Picture Palace in a “pimped” photo booth – the smallest cinema in the world. Please have a little squint.
